The upgrade process is rather simple:
How to update your installation with the Automatic Update Package
The recommended way of updating your installation listed here is only valid for the automatic update package. You are also able to update your installation using the methods listed within the INSTALL.html document. The steps for updating phpBB3 automatically are:
* Go to the phpBB.com downloads page and download the "Automatic Update Package" archive.
* Unpack the archive.
* Upload the complete uncompressed install folder to your phpBB root directory (where your config.php file is).
Once uploaded your board will be offline for normal users due to the install directory you uploaded now present.
Now start the update process by pointing your browser to the install folder.
You will then be guided through the update process. You will be notified once the update is complete.
Following the instruction will get a tar file (update_3.0.3_to_3.0.4.tar - the updated files in it).
Upload this tar file to the phpbb root directory (<DOCROOT>/phpBB3) and untar it to have all updated files replace the old files.
That's it!
P.S. After the upgrade process is done, one has to check the files again. Otherwise, the ACP's System tab would show incomplete upgrade. Then, the install/ directory can be removed.
For those who are curious what are new in 3.0.4, please check the phpBB 3.0.4 released page.
