Updating PrestaShop

New versions of PrestaShop come every few weeks. Some are major, most are minor, but they all bring a slew of innovations, improvements and bug-fixes. It is therefore highly advised to keep up with the latest version.

There are 5 steps to follow for a successful upgrade:

...

1. To test the update, you first downloaded the latest version of PrestaShop.
2. You unzipped this version, which contained a folder called "prestashop".
3. You copied your customized files from your backup to this new "prestashop" folder.

4. You modified the file config/settings.inc.php on line "PS_BASE_URI" so that it has the name of the folder on your server (should be "prestashop").
   For instance:

   Code Block
   html html
   define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/');

   ...was replaced by...

   Code Block
   html html
   define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/prestashop/');

5. You uploaded your "prestashop" folder to your FTP server, and it can be accessed at: http://www.myprestashop.com/prestashop
