With a quick Google search, I was able to find this: http://docs.opencart.com/upgrading/

I don't know much about OpenCart. However, if it's anything like WordPress you need to make sure any plugins or themes are available on the updated version.

Again, if it's like WordPress you will be able to upgrade without loosing any data.

To be honest, it would be better to simply start a second environment, install the latest version over there and then slowly port everything over. That way you already know it will work when you do the definite upgrade.

But you aren't taking into account that he probably doesn't know how to login to his FTP server. It sounds like he had someone set this up for him, and burned a bridge. Now he needs help with all of it.

Well that's just speculation. I'm not really into that.

If you are right and this is the case, then we could help him understand, or teach him all about the service request subforum.

Ofcourse i know what ftp is and how it works .yea i got the tut .i was conscious if i loose my modifications or not .actually m new in php and open cart stuff .my background is in dotnet .Thanks for help guys
Best regards

Yea i know it is easy when you just have default e-store what if there are modifications in your web or estore like new pages images ,hope you understand what i am trying to say .Then in that scenerio
Extracting latest update package of open cart in root of public_html
Deleting config file from admin and root of opencart folder and coping upload folder in the hosted store's public_html/website .
After that what else i need to do .
Www.site.com/install ?? Or before that i have to make coding related changes .or after installation/upgrade we will change the theme .

Good luck getting somebody to help you as I have no idea what you're saying, nor do I know how the software works.

You probably did custom mods/plugins/whatever so you have to know how to update those.

If you don't, and you do not, pay somebody to do it for you, or simply do as I said and make a second environment.
You can either install a fresh opencart in there and port over your custom stuff, like images. Or copy over your current installation and try the update.

Anyways, this has nothing to do with PHP so you probably have more luck in the Website Construction subforum, or maybe even the Wordpress subforum.

Yea i will do myself and i have done succesfully local installation of opencart .first i will learn locally then i will update on server by the way got the whole concept how it works .now the thread should be closed
