Manual upgrade in same series
Posted Aug 08, 2013 - 2:25 PM:
Hi, I am looking for instructions on how to upgrade manually from WSN Links 8.0.5 to 8.0.6. My host uses php safe mode so I cannot use the automatic upgrade. I downloaded the current.tar.gz, but the readme file doesn't say anything about upgrading from an 8.0.X release. Thank you.
1. Extract the current.tar.gz files on your PC and go into the subdirectory created. 2. Delete the /templates/ subdirectory from your extracted files on your PC. This is important so that your templates don't get overwritten in step 3. 3. Upload everything via FTP and let it overwrite the existing files on the server. 4. Visit upgrade.php and run it.
Note that hosts using safe mode should still be able to autoupdate as long as they run PHP and FTP as the same user. If your host does neither, I recommend checking out some of the hosting options I've listed at http://www.wsnlinks.com/resources.html
