0 dynambee Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 @alwayspaws said in Install PS in test site, then migrate it to thirty bees - good idea?: What thoughts do you have about putting a copy of PS 1.6.1.11 in a test environment and then migrating that to thirty bees? Do you want to do a test migration of an existing shop? If so then making a copy of your existing shop and doing multiple test migrations (modules on, modules off, etc) is an excellent idea. It's always advisable to do one or more test migrations on a non-production copy of your shop before doing any migration or upgrade on a live shop. Of course when you do finally migrate your live production shop you should make a full backup first in case something still manages to go wrong. It's always easier to restore from backup than to try to fix or roll back a borked upgrade or migration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 alwayspaws Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 @mdekker yes, away from my live shop. @dynambee I want to do a test migration of an existing shop. @Havouza I'm not able to make a lot of changes to my live shop right now, so I want to do all of this in my own time.

0 dynambee Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 @alwayspaws Some hosts make it very easy to duplicate a website. If you're not sure how to do it you may find details in your hist's help area or you may need to contact support and ask them for help. Both the files and db need to be duplicated and you will need to update PS to point to the new copy of the db. You'll also need to update the domain setting in PS.

0 alwayspaws Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 @dynambee update: Since I'm starting over, I decided I didn't want to migrate and have a lot of old junk on my new site, so I installed the latest thirty bees and updated the modules that needed it. I'm taking my time because after two years, what's another year? :( but I'm very encouraged and motivated now. There's also a plus to this for the community, I hope, because since I am starting new, I can notice and report little things without feeling embarrassed. lol.

0 Pilou Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 @alwayspaws I did the same. It works but some bugs remain but it's always better than Ps :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 alwayspaws Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 For sure, thirty bees is better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 alwayspaws Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 I decided to begin a fresh installation in a subdomain of my site. The installation went very smoothly! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pilou Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 What about your existing Ps products, customers, orders ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nemo Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Actually, the database schema being almost identical, I believe you can just import those back in the respective tables :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 alwayspaws Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 @Nemo - that would be terrific for others. @Pilou - I don't have any customers or orders. I updated my products csv and can use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pilou Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Ok :) For a new shop, it's enough. But for an old Ps shop, you must import all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 alwayspaws Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 @Pilou for you it's probably best to migrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nemo Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I agree, the migration tools should be able to take you to the fork side quite smoothly :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pilou Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Yes it should be, but not ready now. A few bugs remain, but I'm sure it will be resolved soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
