NoGi Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 What's the easiest way to do a clean upgrade of your site? As in bring all photos etc... But not the 3rd party 3.4.7 apps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexsplosions Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I would have thought removing everything but the upload folder and global_conf.php and then uploading IPS4.Probably worth testing though... Before you do it for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoGi Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yeah, I'm hoping that it's going to be that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machsterdaemon Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 What about the folder with the smileys? It is needed if you have custom smileys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinistra Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 As far as I know you don't need the public dir seeing as it is a completely new system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you do it for real.Don't do THAT!!!You can only delete the Public folder after the upgrade.So delete everything minus Uploads, Public and conf_global.php.Upload IPS4 and Upgrade. Then you can delete the Public folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can delete the Public folder.Once you upgrade all smiies will be converted to the new file system. and there is no point in having the public folder because the skins won't work.

NoGi Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Ok, I think I am going to make a copy of my forum folder first and then remove the unwanted folders before upgrading. I would actually prefer to set up my smilies again so losing them wouldn't be an issue for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can delete it after you upgrade. But if you delete the folder before you upgrade, there will be no smilies to convert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
