This chapter focuses on obtaining and applying upgrade packs and database upgrades. For information on the pre-upgrade and post-upgrade procedures, please consult the section [[X-Cart:Upgrading#Upgrading_X-Cart_step_by_step|Upgrading X-Cart step by step]].

==Upgrading to Branch 4.4.x==

==Obtaining in-branch upgrade packs==
  
−
Depending on the branch and version your X-Cart store belongs to, you can upgrade the store to branch 4.4.x either directly or through a series of transitional steps (upgrades). You are likely to deal with the second option if you do not upgrade your store regularly, as every new branch of X-Cart is bundled with the database upgrade packs for latest minor versions for two X-Cart branches antecedent to the current branch only.

To obtain an upgrade pack for upgrading to the latest minor version within a branch:<div id="47x"></div>

This presumes that, prior to upgrading to branch 4.4.x, you must complete the following upgrade tasks:

−

−
#* ''If you use a Windows-based server, or a UNIX-based server without terminal access:''<br />Decompress the upgrade pack archive to a directory on your system using your favorite compression program (WinZIP or any other archiver with support for TAR files).<br />Use an FTP client to upload all the files of the decompressed archive (retaining the directory structure) to the X-Cart root directory on your server or your hosting account.

+
#* [current_version]-[target_version]_sql_upgrade.zip
−
# Make sure that the files that will be patched during the upgrade have world writable permissions. Names of the files to be patched are listed in the file <xcart_dir>/upgrade/[source-version]-[target-version]/file.lst.<br />If you use a UNIX-based server, to set world writable permissions to the required files you can run the following shell command:<br /><pre>for i in `sed -e 's/,.*$//g' < upgrade/[source-version]-[target-version]/file.lst`; do chmod 666 $i ; done</pre>replacing the [source-version] and [target-version] parts with the source and target versions of the X-Cart installation that you upgrade.{{Note1|Important! You must run the command from the X-Cart root directory.}}

−
# Log in to the X-Cart Admin area.
 
−
# Go to the '<u>Patch/Upgrade Center</u>' page (Tools menu -> Patch/Upgrade. Before X-Cart 4.4.x: Administration menu -> Patch/Upgrade).
 
−
# In the 'Upgrade' section of the '<u>Patch/Upgrade Center</u>' page, use the '<u>Target version</u>' drop-down box to select the version to which you are going to upgrade your store (This corresponds to the upgrade pack you have uploaded). Also, in the 'I confirm that:' list, select all the checkboxes that apply. Click the '''Apply''' button.<br />X-Cart will test whether the files that need to be patched by the upgrade pack can be patched successfully and will list the respective files showing their status. The file status definitions are as follows:<br />
 
−
#* OK - File can be patched successfully.
 
−
#* Checksum error - Patch is corrupted. Try to download the patch again.
 
−
#* Non-writable - File does not have write permissions. Set write permissions on the file.
 
−
#* Not a file - Target is not a file. The original X-Cart structure has been modified and you need to apply the patch manually.
 
−
#* Not exists - File is missing. The original X-Cart structure has been modified and you need to apply the patch manually.
 
−
#* Could not patch - Patch cannot be applied to the file automatically, as the original X-Cart structure has been modified, and you need to apply the patch manually.
 
−
#* Already patched - File has been patched already.<br />If your Patch/Upgrade center detects any problems (errors - marked in red), you will not be able to proceed with upgrading your X-Cart based store until these problems are resolved. You will have to go back, make the necessary corrections and run the upgrade pack applicability test once again.<br />As soon as the applicability test has been passed successfully, you can continue with the upgrade pack application.
 
−
# Click the '''Apply patch''' button at the bottom of the page.<br>X-Cart will start patching the files. After the upgrade pack has been applied, X-Cart will display the list of patched files and a detailed report about the changes that have been made.

Secondly, when you use an FTP client for uploading text files to the server, the FTP application may alter your files (if it's set to transfer data in the <b>'ASCII'/'Text'</b> mode). It replaces the line-break characters that are different in Unix and Windows systems whereas all the other text is left the same. These changes are not visible, but X-Cart checks the files' checksum and the values appear different from the expected ones. In order to solve the problem, you set your FTP client in the <b>'Binary'</b> mode and upload the upgrade package files to the server again.
