I have a live OC2 website and now I am planning to upgrade it to OC3. Before doing that, I would like to have the new OC3 website installed as fresh to do all the necessary tests and also test the new extensions. My question is; since I have one hosting account, can I install the OC3 as a totally separate store where the live OC2 site resides? And how? I don't want to interfere with the live site at all.
Any help would be appreciated
You can install different OC Versions on the same Server in different Subdirectories, as long as you also use a separate Database for each Version.

Thank you for your reply.
I was wondering if subdomain works different than subdirectory. Which is good in my case?
In subdirectory way, I need to create a new folder in public_html, then install the OC3 in there. Am I thinking right?

Correct, if you run your existing Shop in the public_html ROOT Directory, just add a Subdirectory called like oc3/ and upload the OC-3 Software there.
You then also have to modify the OC-3 .HTACCESS File to:
to make it work as planed. Good Luck!

Upload is done but no OC-3 installation starts when I typed mysite.com/oc3 in the browser. "Page Not Found" error.
I created a new database and a new user. Connected the new user to the new database. Adjusted all user privileges as required.
By the way, both config files are empty.

Well, you have to use the Install Function first, I assume ...
or then, write both config-files manually, to make it work.

In .htaccess remove line that like rewriteCond !-d. It denies access to the /oc3/ folder.

Negative, you'll have to click the index.php file in the INSTALL Directory, I assume, to start the install routine.Should the install function start automatically when I enter mysite.com/oc3 ?
Such can be done by calling the Install routine like:
http://yoursite.com/oc3/install/index.php

This is the htaccess. Any idea?
Code: Select all
# 1.To use URL Alias you need to be running apache with mod_rewrite enabled.
# 2. In your opencart directory rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.

# Prevent Directory listing
Options -Indexes

## For apache 2.2 and older, replace "Require all denied" with these two lines :
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
