Info

StoreFront 5.0 Note: SQL Server and Access databases cannot be used interchangeably. If, when you are prompted to choose Access or SQL during the Import Wizard or Web Creation Wizard, you chose MS Access, then you must use an Access database. If you chose MS SQL, you must use a SQL database. Live vs. Local You will frequently see this manual referring to a “live” or “remote” web, as opposed to a “local” web. WHAT IS A LIVE WEB? ”Live” or “remote”, when used in context referring to a web site, means the web site is hosted on a server that is physically apart from the location where you do your development and design. Publishing your site to a public internet server is often referred to as “going live.” Keep in mind that, with few exceptions, you will not have physical access to the live server, and so many configuration tasks that are required by StoreFront will require you to enlist the aid of your webhost. The necessity of server-side configuration is not unique to StoreFront. It is important to have a personable and responsive host, and you may wish to host with a StoreFront Web Hosting Partner. A list of StoreFront Partners can be found on our Partners Page at www.StoreFront.net. WHAT IS A LOCAL WEB? The “local” site or server refers to your desktop machine. Some web developers prefer to develop and test their sites as much as possible locally before publishing the site to a remote server and going live. This is possible through the use of the Microsoft Personal Web Server. Please refer to Installing a Personal Web Server, page 46, to learn more about obtaining and installing the Microsoft Personal Web Server. Upgrading to StoreFront 5.0 from a Previous Version StoreFront 5.0 offers many new features that weren’t available in StoreFront 2000. If you have already created StoreFront webs using StoreFront 2000, you may wish to upgrade these webs for use with the latest version of StoreFront. When StoreFront 5.0 is installed, it will also install a Database Upgrade Tool that can be used to upgrade an older database for use with the StoreFront 5.0 files. Please read the following sections for more information on the tasks you must perform to upgrade a StoreFront 2000 web to StoreFront 5.0. 38
User Guide STEP-BY-STEP UPGRADE GUIDE Follow the instructions below to upgrade a StoreFront 2000 web to StoreFront 5.0. The upgrade process will retain your product and customer information, and any relevant configuration settings that will still apply in StoreFront 5.0. 1. If you still have StoreFront 2000 installed, click on the StoreFront menu of FrontPage and select About StoreFront. You must have a version number of 4.04.3 or greater. If your version number is lower than this, please contact StoreFront Support for further instructions. If your version number meets the requirement, please proceed to the next step. Note: If you no longer have StoreFront 2000 installed, use Notepad to open the addproduct.asp file in the StoreFront 2000 web you plan to perform the upgrade on. The header for this file will contain a reliable version number. 2. If you do not already have one, make a current local copy of the web you wish to upgrade. This web must be located on an http:// location on your local machine; for example: http://localhost/mySF2000web/ 3. Open the local copy of your web in FrontPage by clicking File, then Open Web. Enter the URL to the local copy of the web in the Folder Name field, then click Open. 4. Make a backup copy of your database by opening the fpdb folder and locating the .mdb database file. Right-click the file, select Copy, then right-click anywhere in the fpdb folder and select Paste. This will create a copy of the database. After making the backup copy, click on the Start menu and select StoreFront 5.0, then Database Upgrade Tool from the programs list. Use the Database Upgrade Tool to upgrade your database. See the next section, Using the StoreFront 5.0 Database Upgrade Tool, for specific instructions on upgrading a database. 5. Once the database has been upgraded, use the Import Wizard to import the latest files into your web. You can find instructions on the use of the Import Wizard on page 41. Allow the Import Wizard to overwrite all of the old files in your web, with the exception of the storefront.mdb. Do NOT overwrite this file. 6. Reapply a database connection to your web according to the instructions under Creating a Database Connection, page 43. 7. Publish the updated web back to your site. If you are using a separate SSL location somewhere outside of the root web, make sure to replace the SSL files with the latest copies from the upgraded web. All of the StoreFront 2000 ASP and inc application files must be replaced in order for the web to function properly with StoreFront 5.0. 39
