Upgraded phpBB from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6

[cah]

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.

Code: Select all

phpBB-3.0.5_to_3.0.6.zip

* Unpack the archive.

Code: Select all

mkdir /tmp/phpBB_upgrade
cd /tmp/phpBB_upgrade
unzip ~/phpBB-3.0.5_to_3.0.6.zip

* Upload the complete uncompressed install folder to your phpBB root directory (where your config.php file is).

Code: Select all

cp -rp install <DOCROOT>/phpBB3

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_3.0.5_to_3.0.6.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 ("Now start the update process by pointing your browser to the install folder" link above). Otherwise, the ACP's System tab would show incomplete upgrade.

Then, remove or rename the install/ directory.
