Well, I have done it, but not sure if there is any info in the archives at icdevgroup.org or not. Make sure you have the correct version of perl installed somewhere, some functions won't work without it. I would install 5.2 first in a new folder called /ic5 (instead of /ic, so you can run both old and new at same time), run makecat (making sure you are using the newer perl version) and created a new catalog called test1, then copy over all pages, products, etc. from the existing catalog/website. Make sure to view the field count in all tables, as you will have to add some fields to some tables. I know for sure these tables have added fields, there may be others: transactions userdb mv_metadata You may want to consider adding the new fields to your existing catalog also, so when it is time to go live, you can copy over all tables at once and be ready to just turn it on. After you copy over your CATROOT/products/variables.txt you will have to change the catalog naming to 'CATROOT/test1' and the '/ic' to '/ic5' inside that file and then restart the /ic5 server. Get this 'test1' copy running to your liking, make sure and test everything twice ;) Once you have 'test1' catalog running exactly like you want it, change the cat name in variables.txt back to the original name and stop the interchange server running in /ic and restart the one running in /ic5. There is definitely some fiddling around but it can be done. You may also want to check out the multi-page checkout in the mike demo, it is very nice if you like multi-page checkouts. Good luck!
