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.
