pisaldi Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Has anybody got a succesfull upgrade from v3.4.7 to v4 Beta 4b ?And if you got, did you delete or clean several things before upgrading? Regards
TheSonic Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Yes, i upgraded 2 of them I just removed 3.x-Styles and delete all directories except uploads and downloads.
EOSHD Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Will we be able to upgrade a V4 beta dev site to V4 RC or final release version in future?

pisaldi Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 Yes, i upgraded 2 of them I just removed 3.x-Styles and delete all directories except uploads and downloads. I have several directories admin cache ccs_files cgi-bin downloads hooks image interface ips_kernel lofiversion public retail screenshots uploads I undestand that all that I've marked in red must be deleted and the green one you indicate must NOT be deleted... But, what about the blue ones??? Thanks for your help!

TSP Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Screenshots is not and have never (to my knowledge) been a folder created by IPS. The same is true for folders retail and image I think.It's likely a folder you've created at some point. You'll basically need to review the contents of these custom folders and decide whether the contents of them is something you still want to have accessible or not.The advise from IPS on doing a "clean" upgrade to 4.0 have been to not delete the public-folder. As it contains some image files that needs to be present (more specifically in folders style_images and style_emoticons)

As it contains some image files that needs to be present (more specifically in folders style_images and style_emoticons)"screenshots" is an IP.Downloads folder, where file screenshots are stored by default. It should be retained, in this instance. "retail" is an older IPB 3.0 or 2.3 folder which is no longer needed.
D-rA Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 admin, cache and public can be deleted.Enough is renaming.For example, admin as old_admin etc.Thus ensuring a return if necessary to 3.4.7
pisaldi Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 Perfect! After deleting all unneeded directories the upgrade has worked! Thanks for your help!
