CubeCart Upgrade to Version 5 Problems

CubeCart version 5 turned out to be harder to upgrade than we had expected. Part of our problem with trying to upgrade to v5 was all the old code lingering all the way back to version 3. So, Our programmer has made a clean install of v4.5 CubeCart, and he's going to use that until v5 is less buggy.

It's been very frustrating, for sure. But I learned a lot about MySQL databases and a good bit about CubeCart 5.

Playing with Cube Cart Version 5

I have been learning a little bit about how MySQL data bases are set up, how to install CubeCart, and was actually able to install a test version of the newest version of CubeCart to play with. I wasn't able to figure out how to copy our running CubeCart v4 data and upgrade to v5, but I did make a clean install of v5. So I've been able to test it out to some extent, and I'm very pleased with the way it works.

So, I've told our programmer to go ahead with the upgrade to v5 for our store whenever he has the time to do it.

All in all I'm pretty pleased with what I was able to do on my own. Of course, he won't be using anything I did. I'll just delete the data base and files I created, but I learned a lot in the process.
