Topic: Upgrade from 2.2.8 to 2.3.5
I haven't upgraded since a long time.
Is it ok to upgrade from 2.2.8 up to 2.3.5 ?
Can I expect a smooth process ?
Thanks
Re: Upgrade from 2.2.8 to 2.3.5
I just upgraded from 2.2.10 to 2.3.5 and had no problems.
But as always - BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!
I also installed into a new directory and new database, mostly so I can run both side by side... just in case

Tom (or someone else)
I like the idea to start another instance.
What is then the process (just remind me where this is documented) ?
Thanks
Re: Upgrade from 2.2.8 to 2.3.5
I created a new db, copied the existing db into it (2.2)
installed the files in a fa23 directory and copied/updated config_db.php (change database name)
I think that was about it.
Login go to Setup->Software Upgrade
etc

Re: Upgrade from 2.2.8 to 2.3.5
I tried to update from 2.2.10 to 2.3.5 or below but failed. The database can't be upgrade. I also try new installation 2.3.5 and import the database 2.2.10 with the table increase from 75 to 79 but also face the same problem. May anyone may help me by telling the step by step. Thanks

How does it fail?
When you go to Setup->Software Upgrade what do you see?

Re: Upgrade from 2.2.8 to 2.3.5
Partial Upgrade 1/4, after a few force upgrade, Upgrade Successful but when you go to Item & Eventory, under inventories sales report, all the database are none. But when you go to customer transaction, the transaction are there. Please help.
Re: Upgrade from 2.2.8 to 2.3.5
The FORCE UPGRADE may not be the best thing to do.
Restore you db from the backup prior to the upgrade (Where it says Partial 1/4) and see if you still have a "0_company" table
I had to drop that table first.
Drop the table, run backup again and then try the upgrade.
If you don't have a company table then read this thread for other suggestions
