Upgrade vShare 2.6 to 2.7¶
Backup Your Site¶
Before you start upgrading, take backup of your site including database and files.
Non English Sites¶
If you have site with non english language, you need to convert database to UTF-8 before you upgrade vshare. If you do not do this, there are chances of some charactor get changed.
We recommend "Approach 3" described at
http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2009/03/17/converting-character-sets/
If you don't know how to do this, contact install@hostonnet.com
If you skip this step, site will work, but there can be chances of some characters displayed wrongly.
Remove Old Files¶
You can delete (or move to a temporary folder) all folders and files other than following
chimg flvideo photo thumb video include/config.php
I suggest you to move the files and folders to a temporary folder, so you can refer them if needed. Most FTP software allow you to move files and folders.
Upload new files to server.¶
Download vshare2.7.zip from
http://buyscripts.in/download/vshare2.7.zip
Extract and delete include/config.php from extracted files.
Now upload everything to your server, make sure you don't overwrite include/config.php file in server.
Set permissions¶
Make following folders writable by web server.
chmod 777 cache
chmod 777 include/htmlpurifier/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer/HTML
Run upgrade script.¶
After you uploaded new files, you need to run upgrade.php to upgrade database.
