Upgrader


AN UPGRADER IS AVAILABLE. If you are viewing this file through your web server (ie. not through your filesystem), you can access the upgrading utility here.

When a new version of XennoBB is released, you have the possibility to upgrade to it. In order to do that, you need to follow some simple steps.



  • backup your forum’s include/config.php file.

  • backup your forum’s include/templates folder if you made any changes to the way the forum looks (the templating system).

  • backup your forum database (not required, but it’s a security measure).

  • upload the new version, overwriting all the files.

  • restore the config.php file you backed up in the 1st step, overwriting th one you just uploaded.

  • restore the include/templates folder, overwriting the newer ones.

  • point your browser to http://www.myforum.com/install/upgrade.php. Select the version you want to upgrade and press “Upgrade”.



  • You shouldn’t have any problems keeping XennoBB updated to the latest version, and we recommend it.

    The bottom line is: When it comes to debugging, the more you can provide, the easier it will be to duplicate and rectify the problem.
