posts: 8

hi there, basically, we(at theopencd.org) want to upgrade from 1.7.1.1 to the latest stable release, any good tips on how to do so?

is it easy enough, or something i could mess up badly?

You don't have to fear using a backup.
There's a DB upgrade to 1.7.4.
It's easy enough

Please make sure you do a backup before performing any kind of upgrade.

Its just common sense!

well, yes, i certainly will, i just really wanted to know if there's an automatic upgrade option (ala phpBB2), and if i can simply overwrite all existing files with the contents of the new archive.

cheers

btw. TheOpenCD.org 1.2 is out now if anyone wants to give it a go ;)
