Access your management interface and navigate to the 'System | Database | Raw Database Admin' function. There, select the the 'SQL Statement: Submit a Raw SQL Statement' function. All of the statements to be issued below are modification statements, so you can ignore the 'Output Type (Select Statements)' field within that function.

STEP 2: Download The New Installer

A new installer package is available, and should be installed prior to running this upgrade. You can retrieve it from:

Link: Download the installer for ClickCartPro 8

Link: Download the installer for EuropaCart 8

Users of EuropaCart, and users that purchased their licenses using a European billing address, should download the EuropaCart installer. Otherwise, download the ClickCartPro installer. Simply download the install package from the link above, unzip it locally on your computer, then upload all the files from it to your public Kryptronic software installation directory via FTP. Overwrite the files on your server with the files in the download package.

STEP 3: Access The Installer & Run The Upgrade

Access your installer via a URL similar to 'http://www.yourdomain.com/store/installer.php'. Follow these steps:

  • Access your installer.php script and login. Submit through steps 1-5 without making changes to your installation configuration information.
  • On Step 6 (PEAR Installation), choose 'Yes, reinstall/update PEAR modules'. Check the 'Overwrite all files' checkbox. It is your option whether you choose to auto-submit the steps or confirm each one. Any PEAR modules that have been updated since your last installer run will be updated.
  • On Step 7 (System Component Installation), choose 'Yes, reinstall/update the system component'. Leave the 'Overwrite all files' checkbox EMPTY. It is your option whether you choose to auto-submit the steps or confirm each one. Any system component modules that have been updated since your last installer run will be updated.
  • Submit through steps 8-11 without making changes to your installation configuration information.
  • On Step 12 (Component and Module Installation), choose 'Yes, reinstall/update components and modules'. Leave the 'Overwrite all files' checkbox EMPTY. Leave the 'Only install new components and modules' checkbox EMPTY. It is your option whether you choose to auto-submit the steps or confirm each one. Any application modules that have been updated since your last installer run will be updated.
  • On Step 13 (Database Reload), choose 'Reload with recently changed definition files only'. It is your option whether you choose to auto-submit the steps or confirm each one. If any database definition files have been updated, only those files that have changed will be updated. Do not worry about losing data, or the installer overwriting your data, during a database reload. The installer is smart enough not to do that to you.

STEP 4: Post-Upgrade Database Changes

Access your management interface and navigate to the 'System | Database | Raw Database Admin' function. There, select the the 'SQL Statement: Submit a Raw SQL Statement' function. All of the statements to be issued below are modification statements, so you can ignore the 'Output Type (Select Statements)' field within that function.
