\"migration\"<\/p>\n

1. Moving the old database<\/b><\/p>\n

The first thing we have to do is to create a backup of our magento community database and create a new database (for example, magentoee) and then dump there the backup we made. At this moment we have an exact copy of the original database.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s important to go to the core_config_data table and modify the\u00a0web\/secure\/base_url<\/i>\u00a0and the\u00a0web\/unsecure\/base_url\u00a0<\/i>rows (entering there the new url address).<\/p>\n

2. uncompressing the enterprise edition and adding custom modules<\/b><\/p>\n

Now you have to uncompress your magento enterprise edition wherever you\u2019re going to test it. This is like if it were a new Magento EE installation.<\/p>\n

Then you have to copy all the custom modules you installed on your current magento. Be careful with this, because these modules can be usually found on \/app\/code\/local or \/app\/code\/community, but maybe these modules added some files on the design directory or added some js files. I would recommend to download the extensions again with\u00a0this tool<\/a>\u00a0and install them manually (i.e. descompress them) on our magento ee directory.<\/p>\n

note: don’t forget xml files that turn on modules in app\/etc\/modules<\/em><\/p>\n

3. Themes and media<\/b><\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s important to copy our original \/media and theme directories to the new magento ee directory.<\/p>\n

4. updating our magento to the EE<\/b><\/p>\n

To start updating our magento we only need to go to the base url of the magento EE installation. Given that Magento is going to find a local.xml, then it will start automatically updating the database. It will take a few minutes to update all the database.<\/p>\n

After that, your new Magento EE shop will be accessible. But there are a few things you have to take into account:<\/p>\n
