Upgrading
From time to time it will be necessary to upgrade your 68 Classifieds installation to the latest version, either to gain new features or to fix newly discovered bugs.
Make a Backup
- Backup your database and all your tables. (Please make sure the backup will actually run in case problems arise.)
- Backup your connections/classifieds.php file and all your templates.
- Backup any modules or changes you have made.
Download your new files
You will need to login to 68 Classifieds customer section to download the latest release.
Upload your new files
You will need to open your FTP program and connect to your server where you have 68 Classifieds installed.
Now upload all the new files from the Zip you downloaded. This could take a little while but be sure all the old files are overwritten with the new ones.
Run the upgrade
After all the new files have been uploaded visit (http://www.yoursite.com/setup/ for v4.x.x) or (http://www.yoursite.com/install/ for v3.1.x) and follow the upgrade steps. It will ask you what version you are upgrading from that way the correct database changes are made.
The final step after upgrading will be to COMPLETELY DELETE THE ENTIRE 'SETUP' DIRECTORY. If this is not done, your site will not work correctly.
