How to update a Tiki install.

posts: 1

I have installed successfully Tiki 1.7 in my machine, but I am not sure what is the safe way to update it to Tiki 1.7.1.1.

Someone have some advise to me?

I'm not much of an expert myself, but I think you keep the database and any files in their folders, whereas the code (php and tpl files etc.) you overwrite them, or delete them first. The installation process then asks you if you want to make a new database or not and whether you're updating (and ifs, from what). As I had nothing in the database I just emptied everthing including that. However if you look round this forum you'll see a helpful German guy who doesn't seem to recommend the update to 1.7.1.1. So perhaps it's better to wait a little. For useful info go to: http://alt.thetinfoilhat.com/tiki-index.php?page=Tiki%20Documentation cool

I assume that 'German guy' would be myself. Actually I am Belgian, not German. Belgium and Germany do share the same colours in their flags but the direction is different (just like France and the Netherlands).

Updating to Tiki v1.7.1.1 should not be anymore work than dropping in the newest Tiki files in the original tiki directory. But make a backup first! You either overwrite your old files or delete them first. I don't think there are any database changes but you can check if there is a specific SQL update script in the tiki/db directory.

And yes my advice would be to wait for Tiki v1.7.2.

Pat.
