2. Installation2. Installation
First of all we would like to suggest you to keep a development copy of a live installation for a new or updated extensions
testing. The Magento shopping cart provides the flexible and comfortable extensions system. This fact is a basis of a
powerful community. Therefore, the numerous extensions you may need presence is guaranteed. The negative side of
Magento extensibility are 3rd party extensions conflicts possible. That happens because some extensions may use common
resources concurrently. Nowadays it is the stumbling block and the task to be solved by Magento team and community in
future. Fortunately, we have a services to resolve such issues for our modules. Please read Support Services page for more
details.
Follow the steps below:
1. Back up your files and database (preferably).
2. Extract the extension archive to the Magento document root directory.
Upload the extension to the document root and run the next command:
cd/var/www/public_html/tar-xzfInnoexts_Zone-1.0.0.0.tgzrmInnoexts_Zone-1.0.0.0.tgz
Replace version number (1.0.0.0) and document root path (/var/www/public_html/) according to your parameters.
3. Go to the administration panel, under the System -> Cache Management refresh (if enabled) and flush the cache.
Don't forget to select all cache types.
Congratulations, installation has been completed.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you met troubles during the installation process.
