Upgrading 6.2 to 6.4

Pre Install Procedures For UPGRADING from 6.2 to 6.4
Make sure you have made a complete back of your entire site, using a ftp program or your hosting control panel. Also, back up your current database and save it to your local computer.

Step 1: Make a complete back up of your current images folder, and save it to your hard drive (desktop).

Step 2:Using your FTP program, browse to your templates folder and click to view the files inside.

Step 3: Once your in the templates folder, download your current template and save it to your computer.

Step 4: Log into your current sites admin (the one not upgraded) and goto configuration>site maintenance.

Step 5: Clcik the edit button, and place your store into maintenance mode "true"

Step 6: Next goto Design Controls>InfoBox Configure

Step 7: You will want to disable the information table infobox, by pressing the "red" inactive icon. The information_table info box is not supported anymore in 6.4, thus it will need to be disabled, otherwise you will get an error on the upgrade.

Step 8: Make sure your 6.2 template has the pages.php in the boxes folder, follow the path below.

Step 9: Click your template name, then proceed to the next step.

Step 10: Goto your templates boxes folder, and click it, you need to make sure it has a pages.php file, see next step.

Step 11: Make sure your template has the pages.php in the boxes folder, follow the path below.

Step 12: If your site does not have the pages.php file, goto /templates/default/boxes/ and copy that file to your desktop, then go back to your /templates/your template/boxes/ and copy that file to that location. Follow steps 12, 13, 14 and 15

Step 13: Now that your have copied the /templates/default/boxes/pages.php to your desktop, proceed back to your custom template boxes folder, follow the path below.

Step 14: Click your custom templates/yourtemplate/boxes/ folder, and then upload that pages.php from your desktop in step 12 above from your desktop, and upload it back to your custom templates boxes folder.

Step 15: Now your /templates/yourtemplate/boxes/ folder will have the pages.php file. This is needed, beacuse 6.4 does not use the information_table.php info box.

Step 16: Your template will also need the /templates/content/pages.tpl.php file. To copy this file you will/may have to copy it from the content folder below. Follow the path outlined below.

Step 17: Copy this file from the stock content folder to your /templates/your template/content/ folder. Your template may not be using a content folder, so just make sure that you have that file in the /content/ folder. It may be this path /templates/content/pages.tpl.php or this path /templates/your template/content/pages.tpl.php

After all of the above is done, goto your new site (the upgrade side ....www.yoursite.com/new/) and use your FTP program, and upload the saved images folder from your backup in step1 and also upload your template to the new side from steps 2 and 3.
