Upgrading
This is version 4.0.6 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 4.0.5 ONLY
4.0.6 requires the upgrade script to be run but first you will need to upload the following files:
| Document Name | Folder Name | Status |
|---|---|---|
| global_functions.php | .\functions | Modified |
| files.php | .\functions | Modified |
| users.php | .\functions | Modified |
| download.php | .\functions | Modified |
| lang_ad_config.php | .\lang\1 | Modified |
| lang_ad_users.php | .\lang\1 | Modified |
| lang_error.php | .\lang\1 | Modified |
| ad_files.php | .\functions\admin | Modified |
| ad_config.php | .\functions\admin | Modified |
| ad_users.php | .\functions\admin | Modified |
| vb3.php | .\functions\userdb | Modified |
| vb2.php | .\functions\userdb | Modified |
| ipb2.php | .\functions\userdb | Modified |
| ipb.php | .\functions\userdb | Modified |
| admin.php | . | Modified |
A number of skin changes have been made since 4.0.5. If you have not made any skin changes from the default theme then you should also upload the following files:
| style.css | .\skins\skin1 | Modified |
If you have made changes you can find a list of skin changes which you can update manually here.
Once the files are uploaded and skin changes have been made 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 4.0.6.
