Magento

This worked for me to upgrade from 1.4.3.2 to 1.5.1.

BACKUP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE STARTING!!
from inside the directory you wish to install magento:

wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.5.0.1/magento-1.5.0.1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf magento-1.5.0.1.tar.gz
mv magento/* magento/.htaccess .
chmod o+w var var/.htaccess app/etc
chmod -R o+w media
chmod o+x mage # the copy I got was not owner executable
rm -rf var/* # if it’s not empty
./mage mage-setup .
./mage install http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community Mage_All_Latest --force # --force prevents errors
rm -rf magento/ magento-1.5.0.1.tar.gz

EDIT app/etc/local.xml before visiting a page!

If you get this error during upgrade:

Try to replace this command:

With:

when using the upgrade_all --force, it will install beta versions, however I just want to upgrade to the next stable version (like magento v.1.5.1.0). How do I do that?

set to stable if you don’t want ‘beta’

Yes, execute this command:

and than check if it was set successfully using this command:

It will show you this information if upgrade configured for 1.6

if you will be upgraded to latest stable 1.5.x, you will see this:

I’m trying to run some package updates and like other am getting “Uri doesn’t contain host part”. Anyone figured out what is causing this?

That’s the exact problem I’m running into. I can’t figure it out, and there’s no real documentation regarding this.

Hi Ross, thank you!

Yes

When I try to upgrade Magento 1.4.1 to 1.6 by following the instructions of the Turnkeye manual http://turnkeye.com/blog/magento-upgrade-from-1-4-version-to-magento-1-5-magento-1-6/ , I come across a problem.  I can manage to upgrade Magento to 1.4.2, but when I try to upgrade to 1.6 something goes wrong. At the command “ ./mage list-upgrades” I get the following error:
./mage list-upgrades
Error:
list-upgrades: Invalid stability in compareStabilities argument

The following commands don’t help either:
./mage channel-add connect20.magentocommerce.com/community
./mage channel-add connect20.magentocommerce.com/core
./mage sync

If I continue the installation with the following command:
./mage install http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community Mage_All_Latest --force
The installation is being upgraded to Magento 1.7. There are several extensions which don’t work in Magento 1.7 & 1.6.2.
How can I carry out the upgrade to Magento 1.6.1 ?

I have the same problem. Any suggestions?
