How do I upgrade

posts: 6

I have searched documentation and find many words on install, but so far nothing on upgrade.

I am running Tiki v1.7.2 -Eta Carinae and want to upgrade to latest stable version, but don't want to break my site.

I am using Linux, but did not use the rpm install, I think I did some sort of shell install, but don't really remember.

Any tips on how to proceed appreciiated!!

Hi!

You may want to hold off for 24 hours and get the new 1.7.5 which I will be releasing later tonight.

The key is backup both the files and your database before anything
Then extract the 1.7x installation over the existing files
I dont think there are any db changes in 1.7-> but would be wise to diff the tiki.sql files anyway.

rerun ./setup.sh just to be sure everything copied with correct perms
maybe empty the contents of templates_c/ too

That should be you.
If you want to goto the Development 1.8 release there is a page for that Upgrade18 i think.
