Regarding Open Cart 3.0.5.0 to 3.0.5.1 upgrade

Author: prbt2016Created Aug 13, 2026Updated Aug 24, 2026

Hello ,

I was in the process of upgrading my old Opencart 3.0.5.0 to 3.0.5.1 using following method :

https://github.com/opencart/opencart/blob/3.0.5.1/UPGRADE.md#step-by-step

In my case I have storage directory in /home/{{USER-DIR}}/{{OCART-DATA-DIR}}/storage and have done the 'DIR_STORAGE' path mappings in config.php and admin/config.php.

Also I have the same 'system/storage' directory in /home/{{USER-DIR}}/public_html/system/storage from 3.0.5.0 provided by Opencart.

I overwrite the new files from 3.0.5.1 on top of 3.0.5.0(except /home/{{USER-DIR}}/public_html/system/storage, config.php and admin/config.php) and also overwrite new 3.0.5.1 /system/storage/ folder to /home/{{USER-DIR}}/{{OCART-DATA-DIR}}/storage for ex : /home/{{USER-DIR}}/ocart3050data/storage

After this process i hit :

http://example.com/ocart3050/install

I get the following error i.e :

The upgrade only completes successfully only when /home/{{USER-DIR}}/public_html/system/storage is also overwritten with new 3.0.5.1 system/storage/* files.

May I know what's the correct way to upgrade Opencart from 3.0.x.x to 3.0.x.x , in the case where system/storage directory is moved to /home/{{USER_DIR}}/{{OCART-DATA-DIR}}/storage.

Is there any guide for the same to upgrade when storage directory is moved one level up?.

Is this guide the correct one ?

Kindly let me know .
