Upgrading This is version 4.0.8 Final. It is highly recommended you backup your database and globalvars.php file before attempting this upgrade. If something goes wrong your database can be permanantly lost. Instructions to upgrade from 4.0.7 ONLY 4.0.8 requires the upgrade script to be run but first you will need to upload the following files:
There are a number of skin changes in this update. For a list of those changes see here. Once the files are uploaded you need to upload upgrade.php from the upgrade folder to the script root [the folder containing index.php and admin.php]. Run this script in your browser by going to http://www.yoursite.com/download/upgrade.php. Our new upgrade script should automatically detect which version you are running. If it detects incorrectly please report this on our forums as this is the first time we have tried something like this. Once upgraded, please remove upgrade.php from the server for security reasons. We highly recommend that you now log into your admin control panel for the download script. In this section you should do 2 things. Firstly you should click the "Update Skin from PHP" link in the Skin Control section. Finally it is recommended you go through all the options in the Configuration section and check the settings are now correct. This should complete the upgrade to 4.0.8. Support All support requests are handled via our forum. Support will also be given over instant messenger in certain circumstances but please post all problems on the forum FIRST. |
