Hi everyone,

Not sure if this has been answered anywhere else. I did a forum search to see if it was and nothing came up.

Currently in LPCP webapp pool we have magento 1.3.0 installation. Can that be upgraded after we install the 1.3.0?

The current stabler release is 1.4.0

If we upgrade to this will our store break?

If LPCP doesn't have the most recent edition yet, and you want to upgrade - you can upgrade the script manually.  Be aware though, that once you do this - you can no longer update the script through LPCP (because when you manually upgrade, it will no longer know what version you are really using).  So if you are familiar enough with uploading and configuring scripts on your own - I'd say go ahead.  If not, you might put in a help desk ticket and let them know you'd like to see the latest/greatest version of Magento in LPCP so you can upgrade to it.

So, I did the 1.4 update on my own. Ran into a problem. This might help anyone else out there trying to upgrade Magento on a Shared Server.

It can be done, however when manually upgrading the file permissions are not set right. So, it will break your store.  You will get a 500 internal server error. looking around on the magento forums and discovered that you need to have SSH access to quickly find the proper php files to chmod file permissions. If you have looked at the file structure of magento there are alot of files to go through. With that said, manually changing each file in an ftp client will be tedious and not really recommended. Not only that, figuring out which files need to be changed and what permission should be given to the files isnt clearly described from magento.

If you have dedicated IP with ssh access you can give it a try.

Guide is here: http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/groups/227/installing_magento_via_shell_ssh

Would be great if Lunarpages just included the update in LPCP though make life easier for us all.

Thanks,

Paul

If you look at the menus on the left side in LPCP, you will see a link named Fix Disk Permissions. You may use that or you can email support@lunarpages.com and ask them to do a mass permissions change for you in shell.
