Installation, Upgrade, Uninstall & Release Notes

We have choosen the manual approach for installation of this Magento Extension, to give everyone also the freedom to look inside of the package before installation. Also if the extensions is active in a production environment, any automated update may interfere with the store functionality.

• Magento 1.3.x and all prerequisites coming with it.
• Your Magento installation is required to be faultless and fully functional.
• We strongly recommend to perform the first install on a non-productive system, to perform your settings and any customizations there first. And then to install the extension on your production system with transfering your settings and customization.

1. Take your Magento Shop offline in case you are installing on your Production System. In case during installation your Magento Store is activated the installation may become incomplete and error messages or malfunctions may result.
   
   
2. Unpack the contents of the package and copy the content into the home directory of your Magento installation on your server:
   The Installation Package contains a directory structure that already holdes the individual files correct positions, and that is relative to the Magento Store's home directory (or installation path) on your server.
   If your Magento Store is installed in /home/www/magento then your home directory is to show a app subdirectory (as in the installation package).
   Extract the content of the Archive (or upload its content) into the home directory of your Magento Store, the head subdirectories of the Installation Package shall match the subdirectory structure of the home directory (as a check).
   
   
3. If you are using Caching in your Magento Store, login into your Magento Administration and refresh your Cache: System » Cache Management » All Cache » Refresh.
