I downloaded the 1.4.8 folder, but in the folder, I see an "Install" folder. I deleted my install folder when I first uploaded the forum. Should I upload the new install folder that came with 1.4.8?
PS, yes, I will be upgrading to 1.4.9 after I upgrade to 1.4.8 OR, can I upgrade right to 1.4.9 FROM 1.4.7?
You can go from 1.4.7 to 1.4.9, yep, you'll need the whole 1.4.9 package... you'll need to run the upgrade script as it was needed for 1.4.7 > 1.4.8, so upload the install folder, yeah, and choose 1.4.7 from the list.
thanks Matt, your almost as fast at answering as having an IM to you! Do you mean download version 1.4.9 (as if I am going to install a brand new forum) and replace all the folders and files that way? Would it be "safer" to just upgrade from 1.4.7 to 1.4.8 then to upgrade to 1.4.9? I am so worried about something going wrong....
Yep, backup your database first, download the entire package, upload it overwriting the current files, then go to yoursite.com/install/upgrade.php, and run through the wizard.
Do I need to save my old "config.php" file? Or, by clicking on upgrade.php it will save the "old" necessary files?
The default package doesn't have a file called config.php (it's config.default.php by default) so you won't overwrite that by accident or need to save it.
Oh thats right. Well, I'll give it a go. Just upload the entire 1.4.9 (not upgrade, but brand new installation) package, having FTP overwrite all changed folders, then go to install folder and choose 1.4.7. Here I go, nervously...I did do a MyBB backup from ACP....
Hey thanks Matt! Worked like a charm...isn't MyBB the best?!!
