vShare

h1. Upgrade vShare 2.6 to 2.7

h2. Backup Your Site

Before you start upgrading, take backup of your site including database and files.

h2. 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.

h2. Remove Old Files

You can delete (or move to a temporary folder) all folders and files other than following

<pre>

chimg

flvideo

photo

thumb

video

include/config.php

</pre>

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.

h2. 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.

h2. Set permissions

Make following folders writable by web server.

chmod 777 cache

chmod 777 include/htmlpurifier/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer/HTML

h2. Run upgrade script.

After you uploaded new files, you need to run upgrade.php to upgrade database.

<pre>

http://yourdomian.com/install/upgrade.php

</pre>

After upgrade finished, delete the install folder.

h2. Enable upload progress bar

By default progress bar is disabled, you need to enable as per instructions provided at [[Enable upload progress bar]]

h2. Using JW Player

If you want to use JW Player with vshare, refer [[Using JW FLV Player with vShare]]
