2. Uncompress this archive to the directory where your X-Cart has been installed.

It sounds to me that I should upload the zip file to the website and decompress it there....but how? Seems strange to me that the instructions are in the compressed zip. Was i not supposed to decompress it?
When I attempt to upload the decompressed folders to the 4.4.3 store directory, it wants to overwrite what is there. Is that correct?
Sorry if this is a simple question, but I am lost reading the instructions sent with the upgrade. |
Actually, you can follows two ways:
1) Decompress the archive on your local computer, then upload all the decompressed folders and files on your server to your X-Cart installation folder. This way is generally used when you have FTP access your web-server, but no SSH access.
2) Upload the archive on your server to your X-Cart installation folder, then decompress it using a shell command, for example "tar -xzvf Upgrade_from_4.4.3_to_4.4.4.tgz". This way is generally used when you have SSH access to your web-server.
Some existing files in you X-Cart installation may be overwritten by the files from the upgrade package, it is OK.
