Upgrading Magento Shopping Cart By Magento Connect Manager
Once an update is available for Magento, we can load the /downloader/ directory
onto our chosen Magento installation URL. We are prompted with a login screen.
We type in our administration Username and Password for the chosen
Magento installation into the boxes, after which, we’re be allowed into the
downloader interface.
Here we can install new extensions (should we want to), at the top of the page.
Below, we find a Check for Upgrades button and a list of the extensions currently
installed. We can select re-install or un-install actions from the drop-downs for
each extension as we wish, and commit all the changes at once using the button at
the bottom.
Select Upgrade to… from the drop-down, in the extensions you want to upgrade,
and click Commit Changes at the bottom of the page. After doing this, a dialog area
appears which shows the progress, similar to how the install dialog appeared for
showing progress during installation.
We can access any URL in our Magento installation and all mySQL upgrades will
take place to complete the upgrade
