    Just look at the bottom of your admin panel and it will tell you what version you are on. As for upgrades go to the download section and grab the latest version. You might have to grab an older version first and upgrade incrementaly depending how outdated you are.

    It is so old the admin panel doesn't say.

    Try checking catalog/includes/application_top.php

    There should be a define that looks like:

    // define the project version
    define('PROJECT_VERSION', 'osCMax v2.0.25 SVN');
    If not then you are either running a very old osCmax or a version of osCommerce with some modifications in it. (But given the evidence of Michael's name in the header of the english.php file it is more than likely osCmax.)

    I would also like to make you aware that we are about to launch a new version of the software - so depending on your timescales it might be worth waiting. However, you will also need to bear in mind that there will be bugs that need ironing out of the new release.

    // define the project version define('PROJECT_VERSION', 'osCommerce 2.2-MS2');
    the graphic on my admin page says osCommerce aaBox.com MS2-MAX

    Well well well - that is an old one!

    You may have to ask Michael_s for an exact version on that ...

    I suspect that your store is all the way back to v1.55 or v1.7.

    So ... upgrade or migrate? The upgrade path from that far back will be a bit of a nightmare.

    I would suggest taking the data from the dbase, installing a fresh copy of v2.0.25 or v2.1 (depending on your requirements) and then migrating the data rather than upgrading the software.

    You can do this on a local machine (ie. your PC) to test it out before getting everything sorted out and switching the live store.

    My personal preference would be for using v2.1, tested locally and then moved live over a quiet weekend.

    Any Pitfalls, I should look for, recommended procedure

    I am worried about updating the templates
    getting the history/user over
    uploading all the new products.

    Is there major changes for those tables?>

    I think I can handle the paypal and bluepay change over.

    From where you are to the latest version is quite a jump!

    I would strongly recommend building a v2.0.25 or v2.1 store on your local PC - instructions in the wiki - get your head round the changes in admin panel etc.

    Then I would use easypopulate to products across from the old store to the new store. Do some reading in the wiki and on this board about the image handling since this is much more dynamic than before.

    You will need to work out which tables of data you want to port across.

    If this all sounds over your head then I would suggest contacting RidexBuilder who I know does conversions for people (for a fee!)

    Have a go on your local machine - you can't break anything.
