Welcome

Welcome to the update installation manual for JShop Server. This manual will take you through the process of updating your JShop Server installation to a later version. Some basic procedures need to be followed in order to install JShop Server and the following facilities will be required by the installation process:

•	An FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client through which you can upload the JShop Server files to your web server.

•	You will require your web hosting server's database connection details and database name. If you have not already done so, most hosting control panels provide the facility to setup a mySQL database, and choose the username and password. You need to note these details down.

•	The path to your files on the server. Each hosting account has a full server path, a path to all the files on that hosting account. If you do not know what your full server path is your hosting company will be able to tell you what it is.

You will not require any in-depth PHP knowledge or mySQL administration knowledge in order to perform the installation.

Please note that rectifying an update installation that you have attempted yourself will require the purchase of our update installation service.

NOTE: We recommend backing up your JShop Server files and database before installing the update and turning your store off in General -> Global Options to make your store unavailable during the upgrade procedure. Installing this upgrade is done at your own risk. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for any damages, either directly or indirectly caused by installing this upgrade.
