Video: Upgrading via PEAR

How easy is the Magento upgrade process? Check out the video below (please note that the Magento PEAR channel is still in development).

Sample Data

The sample data archive file is available in .zip (41 MB), .tar.gz (40 MB), and .tar.bz2 (37MB) formats to download (the files contain exactly the same content inside and are provided in different formats just for your convenience).

Each archive contains a SQL script that should be applied on a clean database with your database management tool (phpMyAdmin or whatever you use), and ‘media’ folder with sample product images that you should copy to your Magento media folder. You should then run the regular installation process as for a complete package. Please make sure that you have exactly the same version of Magento that the sample data is provided for – 0.8.16100.

Please also backup all your data and keep separately any custom changes on the files you did, because they may not be compatible with the sample data provided.

Frikki, do not hesitate to PM me and provide me some more details on what exactly doesn’t work or send me a link to your installation - I hope I’ll be able to help and clear out this issue.

Regards,
Joanna

Yet, in the front-end options (but one) in the drop-down for an attribute is still not shown (except for sample data installation).

The bug has previously been reported here: http://www.magentocommerce.com/bug-tracking/issue/?issue=1251

I believe it’s the same bug. If not, what bug was fixed and when will the other bug be fixed?

Anyone tried to dump data?

In the file there sqls as:
CREATE TABLE `core_website` (
`website_id` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
with:
INSERT INTO `core_website` VALUES (0,’default’,’Default’ ...

Another example:

CREATE TABLE `customer_group` (
`customer_group_id` smallint(3) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
with:
INSERT INTO `customer_group` VALUES (0,’NOT LOGGED IN’,1) ...

What is the right thing unsigned or 0?

Thanks!!

Did you changed something with that or it’s my problem (with configuration or etc.)?

P.S. Sorry for my english. :-( I hope you will understand me.

I hope this makes sense

Thanks

yoav

I was wondering what happens to known issues of previous versions. If they are not re-listed in the known issues section is it then a fair assumption that they have been fixed?

More than impressed by your attention to the installation process.

Great job guys!

You guys ROCK!  I did the entire upgrade from my hotel room after work in about 10 minutes before I went to a retirement party from Dayton on my test server in Indy.

THAT is the way software is supposed to work.  Also, your new Design doc in the Wiki is great.  Well written and great examples.

Congratulations Magento!  I can’t wait to go live with my store and your wonderful code.

Does this make sense to anyone?

Help!

2. will be possible to fully redefine the URL schema (or is it, if so, i would love some help) - e.g. categories as subdomains etc.

3. is it possible to order professional support? There are about 10 things like those 2 above, which i need to solve and i can pay for them, for someone, who would make it for me as plugin.

@falco - Release candidate will be coming soon.

@Pädy and @JOP - No downloadable products yet. We are very much hoping it makes it in (but can’t promise). That said, the roadmap will be revised and the items that don’t make it in will be released a short time after the production version is available. We are focusing currently on the core modules and optimization / performance.

March 31 is still a go

nice job!

Thank you.

Thank you so much guys !

Any idea?

Thank you

Anyway you have a killer app, keep up the good work

Great job Folks.  Keep it up!

My problem was due to the fact I had moved the installation, I put the details in a forum post here:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/3379/
(any help appreciated )

Please backup before you upgrade, and when yo uclick that upgrade button, be very very patient, let it do it’s thing.

Thanks again Varien!

It seems that my frequent visits to this website are well rewarded. There is always something new and interesting to find, and of course nothing is better than having a new release to check out.
