Hi,
I've installed opencart 1.5.3.1 on a new domain and i'd like to use the same database i have on another domain in opencart 1.5.1.3. Is it possible and how?
Thanks in advance,
Yes that certainly is...
Before i tell you how to so it though i have one question...
Do you want bioth websites to be accessing the same information or do you want a seperate set of info stored in the same database (e.g. under a prefex)....
Cheers

Hi,
On the first site i have multiple categories.
And i;ve made another where i want only one category with its products with the same specifications, even if i import them all i can manually delete them afterwards, i don;t care... The fact is that there are two databases and 2 different versions of opencart and i've i found that there are some differencies.
Thanks,

If you're wanting to use Multi-Store, then you would only need 1 installation of OpenCart (including database).
If you're wanting two separate installations of OpenCart on one database it's possible too. Just give the new installation a unique prefix when going through the install.

Yes, but if he wants a separate install, he is best to download his database and then add a prefix to it via a code editor and then import it back in... (with the prefix) and up load all his files too...bigchili wrote:If you're wanting to use Multi-Store, then you would only need 1 installation of OpenCart (including database).

That way he can edit whatever he wants and it will be alg...

Hi,
I definetely want to different installs, there are two different versions of opencart, i don't want to upgrade the first because i made a lot of changes, added static pages and links etc.
Regardind the second method, i have to create a different database via cpanel? And what's with the prefix. Could you be more specific please?

You can specify a prefix when you install opencart, this just means that the tables will be called something else (for example if you set the prefix of "oc" your database table "product" will be called "ocproduct" instead of "product"... this means that you can have a lot of different installations on the same database... however if you have already created another database you don't need to worry.
