Upgrade
This sub-tab features a feature introduced with version 1.4.4 of
PrestaShop, and which is still considered experimental: the One-Click
Upgrade, which makes it incredible easier to upgrade your PrestaShop
install to the latest version... provided you already have PrestaShop 1.4.4
installed.
PrestaShop versions below 1.4.4 still need to be upgraded manually.
Refer to our Updating PrestaShop guide.
If you have the latest version already, the tool will simply display "You
currently don't need to use this feature." Starting with the release of
PrestaShop 1.4.4.1, users can upgrade their shop at the click of a button.
IMPORTANT: you should make sure to properly backup both your files
and your database before attempting an automatic upgrade.
The "Current configuration" section gives you useful information on your
current PrestaShop install, and how it might interact with the automatic
upgrade:
 Root directory: indicates where PrestaShop is located in your
current install.
 Root directory status: indicates if the read/write permissions are
correctly set. If not, you will have to change them, using your FTP
client. See the Getting Started guide for a quick explanation of how
to perform a CHMOD.
 Autoupgrade allowed: indicates whether your install can be
upgrade using this tool or not.
 Shop status: indicates if your shop is active or in maintenance
mode. It is good practice to put your shop in maintenance mode
