UPGRADING FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS Before upgrading you should make a backup of the database with the php-residence backup system and save 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 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 the upgrade to a new version is not supported, you'll have first 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 point to the new names.
success After a succesful upgrade you'll see something like this
