So, I need to figure out the logistics of doing this at a shared hosting service. Is this what we'll need to do? <OL> * FTP site files from shared host to local computer * "Close" the live store * Obtain a backup of SQL db * Set up the site on localhost (both files & database) * Run the 5.4 installer locally, choosing the "Upgrade 5.x Store" option * FTP files from local computer back to shared host * Make a backup of the local SQL db, and then upload to shared host * On shared host, perform a restore of the SQL db using the just-uploaded backup * "open" site again on the live store </OL>
