X-Cart 4.1.4 released

BizzyB · #31 12-09-2006, 10:54 PM

This is my first try at upgrading from one version to another so I am going about it in a most careful manner. First, I read every post on this thread. Then read everything I could find on upgrading from one version to another - there is very little appropriate info available that I could find.

Anyway - I decided to take the plunge. I commenced each step of the procedure. When I unzipped the update files to my computer I noted a file called 'UPGRADE.NOTES_4.1.3-4.1.4'. I opened this file via Notepad, the notes started off with the following:

"X-CART UPGRADE NOTES
====================
Please read UPGRADE.readme manual first to get basic information about upgrading X-Cart."

I cannot find UPGRADE.readme either on my computer or on X-Cart's site so I am loathe to proceed with the upgrade.

Can anyone throw any light on the whereabouts of this file?

TIA

Re I cannot find UPGRADE.read me> Its in the main categories of the site were home.php is unless you have deleted it from there.

I will do a fresh install of 4.1.4 and see how it performs. My 4.1.3 is merely a test, with pretty much the only changes being in skin & css style (I could not implement the 4.0.18-4.1.3 upgrade). So no big to just install 4.1.4 instead of figuring out the single SQL error I got on the 4.1.3 upgrade.

I really want the extra features of 4.1.4 so I will check it out.

Installed clean install then problems:

1. the standard login for admin is master/master to which an error message appears:

WARNING! Your password must be different from your username! Please go to your profile details section and change your password to aboid unauthorized access to your store!

When you click on the Warring OK button you are returned to the login screen! There is no way to access the profile screen!

2. After install an email is sent with the site security KEYS, WHY? Why are they sending open email with security keys? Why have security if your just going to post the keys to the internet?

3. creating a user works but the login system doesn't.

PHP 4.3.9
mySQL 4.1.20

That's xcart copy protection, nothing worth worrying about.

What browser/OS are you using? I had problems with 4.1.4 login using Safari (would not work at all) however Firefox worked (unacceptably slow, but it eventually worked)

It appears that login with 4.1.4 is much more complicated than .3 and it's spinning its wheels (literally)

I searched for this but couldn't find anything. Can I upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.1.4.

Jumping 4.1.3 altogether?

Please let me know,

Chris

I could see upgrade pack "4.1.2 to 4.1.4" available via the Helpdesk file area when I downloaded.
