You can upgrade Magento to 1.7.2 using MagentoConnect Manager. The standard procedure of Magento upgrade is the following:
Backup your files
tar -cvvzf your_site_directory.tar.gz your_site_directory/ 2>error.log
Backup your database
mysqldump -u THIS_IS_YOUR_USERNAME_FOR_DB -h localhost
-pTHIS_IS_YOUR_USERNAME_FOR_DB my_database_name |
gzip -9 > my_database_name.sql.gz
Copy those files to the new location
Import database into new created one:
a) Extract my_database_name.sql.gz
b) mysql –verbose –user=THIS_IS_YOUR_USERNAME –password=THIS_IS_YOUR_PASSWORD newly_created_db < my_database_name.sql
Extract the files tar -xvvzf your_site_directory.tar.gz
Edit db table core_config_data and set new secure/unsecure URLs of your site
Disable cache from admin.
Delete cache and session directories located here:
/var/cache
/var/session
rm /your_path_to/var/session -R
rm /your_path_to/var/cache -R
Execute “clean” bash script located in /downloader/pearlib directory
a) Run chmod +x clean
to be able to execute this script
b) ./clean to execute script
Go to Magento connect manager from your Magento admin
Paste this extension to upgrade Magento: magento-core/Mage_All_Latest
