> Hi again Gary,

> Thanks for answering my questions. I'm just about to update my Tiki installation, but I'm wondering if I should just FTP all of the files back into the webspace?? Basically, how do I do an update, rather than a full install? I don't want to wipe out our current installation... I mean I've backed everything up and stored it on a local system, but I still don't want to accidentally blast anything...

The main concern is your original content. This is in the database, and in the file system if you have uploaded images for wiki pages or specified file-system storage for gallery images, and so on. Any of the files uploaded as part of the out-of-the-box Tiki package can easily be replaced (unless you modified/customized them) so you don't really need to worry about them getting deleted or whatever.

You shouldn't need to be concerned about having to reinstall backed-up data, since the Tiki upgrade process generally doesn't touch the tables containing your data (in the case of an incremental update like 1.9.7 to 1.9.8cvs). Of course there's always "operator error...." wink
