{UPGRADING}Looking for Adventure, Come on a Joy Ride with me
Posted: Mon Jan 18, 2016 7:46 pm
Been a while since I updated
Latest Version has been downloaded to my Laptop and extracted 2.1.3
Looked at the ReadMe.
Not very clear on what to do next.
My Files etc are all on a remote server
I have done this before, and can't remember didly, other then it was an Adventure
Any Suggestions?

UPGRADING FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS
Before upgrading you should make a backup of the database
with the hoteldruid backup system and save hoteld_backup.php,
otherwise you could LOSE ALL DATA! Also check that the new
required software is compatible with your current one.
Leave in the folder where hoteldruid or php-residence is
installed only the folder dati (with write permission for the
web server) deleting all the rest. After that, copy the files of
the new version (except the folder dati naturally) and BEFORE
ANYTHING ELSE access the main menu (as administrator user if the
login is activated) and press the "update" button waiting until
it ends to load the page. If add-on modules or themes are used
remember to copy them too with the new version files.
It's possible to change from a postgresql database to a mysql
one or vice versa using the backup system.
If you're using a sqlite database, upgrading to a new version
is not supported for HotelDruid versions before 2.0. If you have
an earlier version, firstly you'll have to move to a mysql or
postgresql database with the backup system.
If you're using a mysql version inferior to 4.1 it's recommended
to create a backup file before upgrading mysql to a version
equal or superior to 4.1 and to restore that file just after it.
If you are upgrading from a version prior to 1.1 then internet
templates evetually present in their default locations will be
renamed. Files with the old names including the contents of the
files with the new names will be created too, but it's
recommended to update the links in the rest of your site to
I copied and pasted the italic portion from the ReadMe file in the Download
Step #1 Create a Backup of the Database using Hotel Druid
- this creates a automatic backup file in the dati folder "_backup.php
Step #2 Also check that the new
required software is compatible with your current one.
Huum, stumped, at the 1st road block, what do I do here?
I am going to assume this is referring to the Software run on the remote site ie apache mysql etc. and that it is ok
Step#3 remove all files and folders other then the folder dati and its contents.
Step#4 transfer , upload, ftp all the new version files to the folder which contains the dati folder
Step #5 access the main menu of PHP res. Hotel druid, and click on the update button, and wait till it finishs
That's it folks , it worked for me.
