Easy Upgrade: v1.2.9 to v1.3.0

Here is an easier way to update from v1.2.9 to v1.3.0.

Step 1. Download the attached zip file
Step 2. Do a Find/replace to change xxx_ to your prefix. Or if you aren't using a prefix, replace it with a blank.
Step 3. Upload v1.3.0 files to your server EXCEPT FOR config.php and admin/config.php. Overwrite the existing v1.2.9 files (Be sure you backed up any customizations or themes. Do NOT delete the existing files, you don't want to have to reupload your product images again or any custom modules.
Step 4. While uploading the files, execute the attached file via phpmyadmin either by importing the zip file directly or unzip and copy the contents of the sql file and paste it into the sql query window.

Done.

(If upgrading to a later version, be sure to do each upgrade in order.)

When You want to upgrade your v1.2.9 to v1.3.0 then try this one: First Unzip and upload the contents to the root directory of your OpenCart installation, preserving directory structure. Then From the admin menu, go to 'Admin->Users->User Groups'. Edit the Top Administrator. Then Find and check the new entries for both modify and access. Save. Then From the admin menu, go to 'Extensions->Payment'. Then Install the module, and click edit to configure.

you are forgetting the many needed sql steps

With the release of OpenCart 1.4.7 there is an upgrade script that will upgrade from version 1.3.0 and up.

Is this method also applicable to all version upgrades?

The upgrade script that comes with the latest version of opencart should be able to upgrade you as far back as 1.3.2

It seems that the file available here is corrupted. Doe anyone else have a copy? Google does not seem to have any other record of "oc_upgrade_129_to_130.zip" anywhere either
(each time it is unzipped, winrar reports a file corruption and gives up)

seems to have 'null' or 'binary' characters in it

I fixed the file attachment above

is this accurate, or should it read 1.3.2?

Can anyone help me. I am in a mess of trouble. I have given away a product for free and now have to mail 1,500 envelopes. How do I print avery labels from open cart. I do not see any option to do so. Thanks in advance. Pete

My version is 1.3.2 but the upgrading script is not working properly. Maybe I missed something

Yea, you missed 1st grade.
if you have 1.3.2
then you wouldn't want a script for 1.2.9 to 1.3.0

Hi All
Please help a somewhat novice here. My website has been hacked quite a bit lately. i read in one of the forums that older OC like v1.2.9 etc had some issues.i dont quite know what version i`m using only that the site is more than 2yrs old. i need to upgrade from probably 1.2.9 to 1.5.X.
What do i need to do, to make it as easy as possible.
thanks
