phpBB 3.0.11 to phpBB 3.1.5
Posted: Fri Jun 19, 2015 6:42 pm
I was following the upgrade guide from phpBB:
https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... /upgrade3/
1. I downloaded "phpBB-3.1.5.zip" and moved it to /export/home/cah/temp on the server (hsiao.net).
2. I unzipped the zip file under the above directory and it created a phpBB directory.
3. I removed the following file and directories in /export/home/cah/temp first and then copied them from /export/home/www/html/phpBB3.
4. I then renamed the old board directory to a new name
5. I then moved the new directory over
6. I then go to the following URL to update the database:
install/database_update.php
7. After it completed the database update, I renamed /install/ directory to a new name.
That's it. I was able to refresh the home page of http://bbs.hsiao.net/ and got all the contents.
It reminded me to create index for MySQL Fulltex and I created index for Sphinx Fulltext too. Details can be found at Administration Control Panel (ACP) -> Maintenance -> Database -> Search Index
For those who are curious what are new in 3.1.5, please check the phpBB 3.1.5 released page.
