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.
The following documents will take you through this process.
Downloading the upgrade files
You will need to login to 68 Classifieds member section to download the latest release. Once you are logged and are at the download page you should see two different versions. One labeled install and one labeled upgrade.
You will want to download the one labeled upgrade. Although both releases are the same the upgrade version leaves out the connections/classifieds.php file to prevent you from overwritting your original.
Uploading the files to your server.
Please Note: It is always recommended to make a backup of your original files and also make a database backup before doing any upgrades. Once you have made the database backup please check it and make sure that it is valid and can be used to restore your database.
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. After they are all uploaded visit yoursite.com/install and follow the upgrade steps. It will ask you what version you are upgrading from that way the correct database changes are made.
Finally after that finishes delete the install directory and your site should be upgraded to the correct version.
