<p><p>This tutorial guides you through how to upgrade your PowerStore 2 site, to work with PowerStore 3. If you are upgrading from PowerStore 2 to PowerStore 4, you should follow these instructions to upgrade your database first, but use the Alternate script provided at the bottom of this tutorial.
</p><p>
This script provided in this tutorial will transfer the database contents of your PowerStore 2 to the PowerStore 3 database tables.</p>
<p>
<b>NOTE:</b>If you made any custom modifications to the PowerStore 2 pages, this will be lost when upgrading.
</p></p>
<p>
<p><b>Already a PowerStore 3 user?</b></p>
<p>If you are upgrading your PowerStore 3 site to use PowerStore 4, you do not need to run this script. Instead, simply enter your PowerStore 3 database credentials on the database step of PowerStore 4's Installation Wizard, and PowerStore will automatically detect and copy the database tables to new tables for use with PowerStore 4. Once this step is completed, you will be taken straight to the end of the Installation Wizard where you can proceed to the Store Manager.</p>
<p>To complete the upgrade process to PowerStore 4, you will need to manually copy over the 'imagesupload' folder from the PowerStore 3 files to your PowerStore 4 files. If you do not complete this step, your PowerStore 4 site will not contain your product images. For more information see the Moving Images step.</p></p>

  1. A PowerStore 2 site with content to be copied to PowerStore 3
  2. PowerStore 3

next sectionarrow down
arrow downInstalling PowerStore 3

To use this script, PowerStore 3 will need to be configured to use the same database as your PowerStore 2 configuration.

If you are upgrading from PowerStore 2 to PowerStore 4, you do not need to install PowerStore 3 and must not install PowerStore 4 until running the script. Skip this step and proceed to Running the Script.

  1. Upload your PowerStore 3 files to your desired location on your server.
    This could be a completely different directory as your PowerStore 2 configuration, but should be on the same server. If you choose the same directory as your PowerStore 2 files, keep in mind that files will become overwritten and your PowerStore 2 installation will stop working.
    If you do not want to affect your PowerStore 2 setup when installing PowerStore 3, you should use a different directory on your server. Once you have PowerStore 3 up and running, you can reassign your domain to go to the new directory.

  2. In your browser, enter the address to where you just uploaded the PowerStore 3 files.
    This will automatically redirect you to the PowerStore 3 Installation Wizard.
  3. Proceed through the Installation Wizard, entering the necessary details for your store.
  4. On the Database Configuration step, enter the database credentials for your PowerStore 2 database.
    You do not need to worry about database tables or content being overwritten. PowerStore 3's database tables are named differently and therefore won't overwrite.

  5. Complete the Installation Wizard.


Once you have completed the Installation Wizard, you will need to run the script to copy over your PowerStore 2 data to the PowerStore 3 database tables.

next sectionarrow down
arrow downRunning the script

Provided below is a SQL script that you can run on your database to migrate the contents of your PowerStore 2 database to the PowerStore 3 database tables.

If you are upgrading from PowerStore 2 to PowerStore 4, you will want to use the Alternate script provided here.

The following instructions are specific to phpMyAdmin and may different slightly if you use a different database management tool.
  1. Log into phpMyAdmin from within your Hosting Provider's Control Panel.
    If you are using 1&1, choose MySQL Administration option and click the phpMyAdmin button next to your database.

  2. Click the SQL icon to open the SQL dialog box.
  3. Highlight the following code and press Ctrl (Cmd) C to copy.
    INSERT INTO ps3_categories (CategoryID, CategoryName) (SELECT CategoryID, CategoryName FROM productcategories);

    INSERT INTO ps3_productcategories (CategoryID, ProductID) (SELECT ProductCategoryID, ProductID FROM products);

    INSERT INTO ps3_productoptions (SELECT * FROM productoptions);

    INSERT INTO ps3_options (SELECT * FROM options);

    INSERT INTO ps3_products (ProductID, ProductSKU, ProductName, ProductPrice, ProductWeight, ProductCartDesc,
    ProductShortDesc, ProductLongDesc, ProductThumb, ProductImage, ProductUpdateDate, ProductStock, ProductLive, ProductUnlimited)
    (SELECT ProductID, ProductSKU, ProductName, ProductPrice, ProductWeight, ProductCartDesc, ProductShortDesc, ProductLongDesc, 
    ProductThumb, ProductImage, ProductUpdateDate, ProductStock, ProductLive, ProductUnlimited FROM products);

    INSERT INTO ps3_optiongroups (SELECT * FROM optiongroups);

    INSERT INTO ps3_orderdetails (DetailID, DetailOrderID, DetailProductID, DetailName, DetailPrice, DetailSKU, DetailQuantity)
    (SELECT DetailID, DetailOrderID, DetailProductID, DetailName, DetailPrice, DetailSKU, DetailQuantity FROM orderdetails);

    INSERT INTO ps3_orders (OrderID, OrderUserID, OrderAmount, OrderShipName, OrderShipAddress, OrderShipAddress2, OrderCity,
    OrderState, OrderZip, OrderCountry, OrderPhone, OrderFax, OrderShipping, OrderTax, OrderEmail, OrderDate, OrderShipped,
    OrderTrackingNumber) (SELECT OrderID, OrderUserID, OrderAmount, OrderShipName, OrderShipAddress, OrderShipAddress2, OrderCity,
    OrderState, OrderZip, OrderCountry, OrderPhone, OrderFax, OrderShipping, OrderTax, OrderEmail, OrderDate, OrderShipped,
    OrderTrackingNumber FROM orders);

    INSERT INTO ps3_users (UserID, UserEmail, UserPassword, UserFirstName, UserLastName, UserCity, UserState, UserZip, UserEmailVerified, 
    UserRegistrationDate, UserVerificationCode, UserIP, UserPhone, UserFax, UserCountry, UserAddress, UserAddress2)
    (SELECT UserID, UserEmail, UserPassword, UserFirstName, UserLastName, UserCity, UserState, UserZip, UserEmailVerified, 
    UserRegistrationDate, UserVerificationCode, UserIP, UserPhone, UserFax, UserCountry, UserAddress, UserAddress2 FROM users);

  4. In the phpMyAdmin SQL dialog box, place your cursor and press Ctrl (Cmd) V to paste.
  5. Click Go to run the script.


When finished, your PowerStore 3 store should contain the same database contents as your PowerStore 2 store.

next sectionarrow down
arrow downMoving the images folder

Once your have succesfully migrated your database contents, you will need to copy over the folder containing your images so that they all display properly in PowerStore 3.

  1. In your preferred FTP application, open the PowerStore 2 files.
  2. Open the Images folder.
  3. Drag the Upload directory to your Desktop.
  4. In your FTP application, open the PowerStore 3 files.
  5. Open the imagesupload
  6. Click and drag the contents of the Upload folder from your Desktop to the imagesupload folder.
  7. Navigate to your PowerStore 3 site, and view the Products page.


If the images are displaying properly, then you have transferred the files correctly.

next sectionarrow down
arrow downAlternate Script for v2 to v4

Instead of using the script provided above, use this script to upgrade your PowerStore 2 database in preparation for upgrading to PowerStore 4. This script allows you to upgrade from v2 to v3 without the need for installing any PowerStore 3 files. Make sure to run this script before running the PowerStore 4 Installation Wizard.

Once you have completed your PowerStore 4 Installation you will be able to log into the PowerStore for Administrative area (Store Manager) via the username "superadmin" with password "superadmin". Go to Settings once logged in to change this.
