What to Do if the 1-Click Direct Upgrade Module is Interrupted
Upgrading your PrestaShop website using the 1-Click Direct Upgrade module is usually a straightforward process. However, interruptions can occur due to various reasons, such as network issues, power outages, or errors during the upgrade. This guide will explain common causes of interruptions and provide steps on what to do if your upgrade is halted.
Common causes of upgrade interruptions
| Issue | Description | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Network issues | Loss of internet connection during the upgrade process. | Ensure your network connection is stable before starting the upgrade. If the connection is lost, restore it as soon as possible. |
| Power outages | Unexpected loss of power can abruptly halt the upgrade process. | Use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) to prevent this issue. If a power outage occurs, restart your server once power is restored. |
| Server issues | Your web server needs sufficient resources (CPU, RAM, storage) to handle the upgrade process. Inadequate server capacity can cause interruptions or errors. | Ensure your server meets the requirements for the upgrade. Upgrade your server resources if necessary. |
| Software errors | Some software errors on the web server or in the PrestaShop code can cause upgrade interruptions. | Check the error logs to identify the issue. Ensure your server software and PrestaShop installation are up to date. |
| Module conflicts | Third-party modules may be incompatible with the new PrestaShop version, causing errors during the upgrade. | Disable or uninstall incompatible modules before starting the upgrade. |
| Overloaded server | High traffic during the upgrade can overload your server and cause interruptions. | Schedule the upgrade during off-peak hours to minimize server load. |
| Cyber attacks | Your website may be targeted by cyber-attacks during the upgrade, causing interruptions or errors. | Ensure your website has adequate security measures in place. Monitor for suspicious activity and address any security vulnerabilities. |
