Upgrade from RC1 to RC2 question

[Keven Fox]

Sorry for asking but I have some concerns.

I'm under the impression we still upgrade the way we were always told, that is to delete all files except conf_global.

So will it matter that I've changed my admin folder? I'm guessing I'll just have to change it again right?

You aren't meant to delete anything as far as I know...

I would upload your new admin/index.php to whatever your admin folder is called

[Keven Fox]

Yeah I did the admin directory edit prior to upload anyway. Worked out just fine.

You delete all the files except conf_global.php and then you upload the new software. Works fine for me. Otherwise see the link in my sig if you get problems and other junk shows up. It helped me get rid of all the garbage I had.

You might not want to delete the uploads/ folder either :P

But yes, that's how I upgrade. I delete everything but my uploads folder and conf_global.php. I also save any headers from any of my skins in style_images/ that I would need again. Upload new files, and run the upgrader.

Either way I always backup my emoticons, uploads and avatars folders. It had just been awhile since I upgraded, but like I said all went well :)

I just do every file
