How to upgrade an old oscommerce website to Phoenix

If you are running an old version of oscommerce you really need to upgrade it to Phoenix. Pre-Phoenix version of osCommerce are no longer supported, and many of them run on outdated, slower, versions of PHP.

Follow these steps to make the upgrade easy.

  • Install Phoenix into a new directory/folder on your current website - see How to Create a Test Shop for instructions.
  • Transfer database tables from your old database to the new database - see phpMyAdmin . Take the time to make the structure of the database you are copying is the same as the destination before you copy.
  • When your new Phoenix shop is ready, choose a quiet time for your shop or install a html landing index page to notify customers - delete all files from htdocs - change configure files in Phoenix shop to their new root/path - copy all files from the sub-directory up to htdocs.
