INSTRUCTIONS TO UPGRADE DELUXE 1.0 TO DELUXE 2.0

Updating your deluxe system from version 1.0 to 2.0 is very easy. You simply need to update your database, load the new files, and double check your settings. Your catalog will not be down during the move, but you may notice that some settings will be somewhat different during the upgrade, so be sure to perform the upgrade during a slow time. Below are the upgrade instructions step-by-step.

IMPORTANT: If you have modified the database or PHP files from your current Deluxe system in any way, you will need to apply those same changes to the new 2.0 version!

Make sure to back up your mySQL database and save a copy of your existing files BEFORE upgrading the system. It's very unlikely that anything will happen to your system during upgrading, but it is a very good idea to have a backup, just incase!

1. Back up your mySQL database and all catalog files.
    
2. Open the "setup" folder of the new upgrade files, and find the "upgrade.php" file. Load this file into the same directory that your catalog page is in (usually the main public directory). Go to http://www.yoursite.com/upgrade.php, to upgrade your database.
    
3. Check your web site to see if there is a "dbconfig.php" file in the "secure" directory.
   1. If there IS a "dbconfig.php" file, skip to step #3.
   2. If there is NOT a "dbconfig.php" file, or if there is not a "secure" directory, follow the instructions below:
      • Open the "dbconfig.php" file, located in the "secure" directory of the upgrade files.
      • Configure the variables as in step 4 of the Deluxe Setup. If you don't know these variables, look for a "dbconfig.php" file in the root directory, or a "dbconfig.inc" file located in the root directory or the "secure" directory of your web site. This file should have all the necessary information.
      • Create a "secure" directory on your web site server.
      • Load the "dbconfig.php" file you configured above into the "secure" folder of your site.
      • For best results, password protect the "secure" directory, as described in step 9 of the Deluxe Setup.
         
4. Check your web site to see if there is an "open.php" file in the "inc" directory.
   1. If there IS an "open.php" file, skip to step #4.
   2. If there is NOT an "open.php" file, load the "open.php" file from the "inc" directory of the upgrade files into the "inc" folder of your site.
       
5. Load the files from the "shopadmin" directory of the zip file into your site's "shopadmin" directory. These will override your current files, so if you need to keep the originals, be sure to save them elsewhere first.
    
6. Go to http://yoursite/shopadmin/ and enter your shopadmin password.
    
7. Select the "Settings" area and modify any settings as needed. Most importantly, modify the "Navigation Type" to the navigation method you'd like to use for your site. This field is slightly different in version 2.0.
    
8. Once your shopadmin is working properly, load the files from the "inc" directory of the zip file into your site's "inc" directory. These will override your current files, so if you need to keep the originals, be sure to save them elsewhere first.
    
9. Load the "order.php", "email.php" and "view.php" files from the zip file into your site's main directory. These will override your current files, so if you need to keep the originals, be sure to save them elsewhere first.
    
10. You should not need to change your catalog page, search page, wholesale page or dbconfig file. You should also not need to modify your Mals account in any way.
