Hi.

I need someone's help with installing an upgrade to the forums on my site (link in my sig), it's PHPbb which needs upgrading from version 2.0.14 to version 2.0.15 but I'm not sure how to do the upgrade :?

If anyone helps me, they can have a job as either co-admin or a Mod on the forum.

IIRC... You simply FTP the update then run update/upgrade.php.

Make a back-up first though;).

Thanks for that.. Very helpful.

I'll work on the upgrade process in the morning.

:confused:


Do you mean 2.0.14 to 2.0.15??


If so......


Simply get the 2.0.15 changed files from phpbb.com (unless you have these already).


1] Unzip to a new dir on your HD
2] Unzip the 2.0.14_to_2.0.15 files to a directory within the dir created in step 1.
3] FTP the "Install" directory to the ROOT directory of your phpBB installation.
4] FTP the contents of the directory created in step 2.
5] Navigate to http://www.yourdomain.ext/phpbb_dir/install/update_to_latest.php

Any use??


Have I mentioned remember to make a back-up before doing this;).

YAY! It worked! My forums are now totally up to date! :clap:

Thanks for all your help ssscux.

You fancy signing up on the forums?

Note to the Mods: I am not trying to steal members from here, just returning a favour.

That could've been "accronymed" a little better (minus the "F"?);).

RTFM?! :confused:

Don't worry it was a joke, but seeing as you are not familiar with the saying if I say it now you may get offended.

I gather from that that RTFM means Read The F'ing Manual?!
