Feneroin Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 We will haven't the upgrade packages? as 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 We haven't that packages 3.0.0 to 3.0.1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey-Rev Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Um yes you can upgrade from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1 quite easily, just download the 3.0.1 package and in the documentation folder select starthere.html and click upgrade for instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feneroin Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 I know it but need upload all files. If we have the upgrade packages as the versions 2.x, this will be better and faster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 As I said in another topic, the upgrade package would essentially be every single file (there were just a lot of bugs fixed between 3.0.0 and 3.0.1) so we didn't feel it was worth the trouble.

Stallyon Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 A short cut if you have Shell access (SSH) is to zip up all the files in the "board" directory (but not the directory) and then upload the ZIP onto your server via FTP, then using Shell, unzip with the -o switch (overwrite). If you don't have Shell access, cPanel's file manager also has an unzip function, if I am not mistaken. That's all I do every time. It's uploaded in less than a minute then. It's much faster to upload one large file than a thousand small files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you explain this part please? My server tells me I have a ... "Shell account - allows SFTP/FTP plus ssh access. Shell Type: /bin/bash " (Other options available are: /bin/bash/tcsh ... /bin/bash/ksh ... /bin/bash/zsh) If I 'open' the file on the server it justs opens in a temp file on my computer, not on the server. As I'm on a slow wireless internet connection, paying for uploads and downloads, this would be much quicker and easier for me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew.S. Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hi I just upgraded :) The most modifications on my forum were just hooks with no file edits or skin edits. After upgrade, i see they are still there :) It means i just have to redo file edit for 1 or 2 mods and no reinstall hook or skin edits ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a simple tool called PuTTY (it's one file) and you just put your server address or IP in the Host Name box and click Open. It will need to ask if you trust it before you connect, and then just type your username and password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallyon Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Actually, speaking of shortcuts to upgrade, has IPS ever considered generating DIFF files so those of us who are able to can use the patch command? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin A. Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 They've done that for previous point releases. Guess they didn't upload that for the same reason why as the upgrade packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted July 17, 2009 Management Share Posted July 17, 2009 There were just so many changed files. It would be easier just telling you what wasn't changed. We can provide a DIFF but our repo contains everything including blog, gallery, downloads, etc. It would be a pain to go through it and manually remove those items.
