I am upgrading from nopcomm 2.65 to 2.7. I opened the upgrade download and I see upgrade.sql file in the FTP, what I cannot find is the destination file in the FTP. I do not have any products or images in my site, so I do not need to do a back up and the read me instructions are way beyond my expertise. Any advice for a novice?
Can you please provide more details on this issue. Also verify that you are upgrading nopCommerce on Windows 2012 / IIS 8 platform as version 2.70 requires ASP.NET 4.5 Framework, which is available on IIS 8 platform only.
If you don't have any products or images, I suggest you use Method 2 in our blog to install nopCommerce 2.7: http://blog.Winhost.com/three-ways-to-skin-a-cat-or-deploy-a-cms/ Like Rum mentioned, make sure your site account is on a Windows 2012/IIS8 server.
