Migrate X-cart 4.1.8 to X-cart 5 business - upgrade

I have to upgrade my X-cart version. Current version is 4.1.8 and have to upgrade to X-cart 5 business.
Can I directly migrate to 5 or have to upgrade first to latest version of X-cart 4?
Suggestions please.

You can definitely upgrade directly to X-Cart 5.
For that just use the Migration Wizard module: https://market.x-cart.com/addons/migration-wizard.html
One note though, this module does not transfer custom data and custom modifications of functionality and design. It only transfers data from X-Cart 4 to X-Cart 5.
If you need to transfer custom changes, they will have to be re-implemented.

X-cart 4 and X-cart 5 are completely different carts with completely different database structures. You can do the conversion, but that's not an "upgrade" but rather re-building a new store.
You might consider instead just updating to the latest version of "X-cart Classic", which is 4.7.10... and has a database structure and template structure that's going to be MUCH easier to adapt to.
If you do that, then per the X-cart wiki you'd want to take your store from 4.1.8 -> 4.1.12 -> 4.5.0 -> 4.7.10 (latest).

Typo3 Database update from typo3 v7.6 to typo3 v11.53

I want to update typo3 v7.6 to v11.5.3. I copied the files from the latest version to the old installation. The files are updates but I am facing database issues. The DB structure of v11.5.3 is different from v7.6. I need to migrate my data from v7.6 database to v11.53 database. Is there any way I can do it?
The core does only ship migrations for 2 major versions. Therefore you need to switch 1st to version 9 and do all the upgrade steps there and after that you can update to 11 and do the update wizards of 10+11.
All upgrade wizards can either be run via cli or via Install Tool.
Additional code migrations can easily done by using tools like rector
I personally don't care if the the frontend works in the intermediate versions and fix that at the end but as 7.6. is really old (and the used code could even be outdated in those old times) it will take a bit of manual work.

No option to upgrade from 7.6.x to 8.7.x in Install-Tool Core update or upgrade wizard

why the Core update shows me "No regular update available" and upgrade wizard shows me "No updates to perform!"?
I'd like to upgrade from 7.6.31 LTS to the latest 8.7.x LTS version.
The wizards for upgrading in the TYPO3 install tool always only performed upgrades on the same main-branch. So a change from version 7 to 8 or 8 to 9 was never considered and has to be done manually. One reason might be that also some extensions follow the same concept and it will be hard to keep the site running with automatic updates between branches.
Especially problematic would be an automatic upgrade from 8 to 9, because many things changed technically (t3_ckeditor instead of rte_htmlarea, Doctrine Dbal instead of the old TYPO3 database-layer).
So, currently there is just no option to upgrade from 7 to 8 and you've to accept to have to do that upgrade manually.
Nevertheless the upgrade-wizard is still supporting you with required database-updates and other actions to perform.
Some upgrades also require an update of PHP which would be impossible for the wizard.

Compatibility of typo3-content between version 6.1.5 and 7.6

we are going to upgrade our typo3-instance from version 6.1.5 to 7.6. Since we need to clone the instance and afterwards upgrade it in two steps (6.1.5 -> 6.2, 6.2 -> 7.6) we wonder if it was easier to setup a clean 7.6 instance and migrate the data (templates, sites, binaries etc.) afterwards.
There are multiple instruction pages on the web describing how to upgrade to 6.2 and to 7.6 but it seems to be a really tricky process.
So I'd like to know if the t3d data is compatible between those versions. Can we export the data from 6.1.5 and import it to 7.6 without troubles?
What do you think of the approach?
Thanks,
Thomas

Most likely this process will not go without troubles.
Best advice I can give, is to upgrade to 6.2, do the upgrade wizards in the install tool. After that upgrade to 7.6 and do the upgrade wizards in the install tool again (those will be different ones).
Your content should now be fine.
You can keep incompatible extensions uninstalled during this process as it is merely targeting content migration. Don't bother with extension code while doing this. Just the core and your content is enough to provide a working content structure for 7 LTS. Migrate the extensions afterwards.
I prefer the upgrade way to do it, because the t3d export / import thing may work, but may cause some troubles too, especially if this is a bigger site.
If you update the extensions on your 6.2 site to current versions, fix the namespaces and deprecation log entries in your individual extensions, the 6.2. => 7.6 upgrade should be quite smooth. In my experience it is much more convenient than a 4.5 => 6.2 upgrade.

Upgrade from mysql 4.1 to mysql 5.5

I was going through upgrade process of mysql server. It is mentioned that to upgrade from 4.1 to 5.5 we need to upgrade step by step like first to 5.0,5.1 ...5.4 and then 5.5.
I have some questions :
What if we directly upgrade from 4.1 to 5.5. What might get effected? functionality or problem related to upgrading
Chances to loose data ? Even though I'll take backup using 'mysqldump --all-data-base' option.
Lets say, I have two database. I'll take only two database backup. I'll install latest version of mysql 5.7 and load two database back. What are chances to loose data or get corrupted ?
I'm curious to know this. If anybody tried? Because I need to do upgrade in live server.
Is there any step by step document which tells exact steps to upgrade from 4.1 to 5.5 in linux server
