Upgrading from 1.0.7 October 21, 2022, 04:33:15 am Hi all,I am going to take over responsibility for a forum that's running on 1.0.7 (don't ask..). Now, I am unsure about the right upgrade procedure. Apply all versions in sequence? Or would applying the newest be good enough?Regards, Tobias
Re: Upgrading from 1.0.7 Reply #1 – October 21, 2022, 09:27:12 am OK I will not ask, but ugh!Download the install package from:https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/releases/tag/v1.1.8Starting from 1.1 the install and upgrade packages were unified, so the same package will be used for both install a new forum and upgrade an existing previous version of ElkArte (e.g. 1.0).Some basic instructionBackup the site and the database, no excusesPut the site in maintenance modeUninstall any addons/packages you have. Uninstall just the packages, leave the database data.If using a custom theme, set the site back to the default themeUpgrading from 1.0: Overwrite all the existing site files with those in the package.Run install/upgrade.php by pointing your browser to the site, it should bring up the upgrade screen automatically, but if not, point it to install/upgrade.phpFollow the update stepsDelete any old files left behind by the upgrade, I think that is only Markasread.controller.php from the /sources/controllers/ directory. But do not delete Markread.controller.phpAdmin LoginUpload new versions of the packages you have, and install themTry the old theme, see if there may be an update, if not prepare to do some work to get it fully compatible. I would just allow the old theme as user selectable but not the site default until you know it works.Check / Update your custom profile fields as the 1.0 to 1.1 will need some tweaksTake it out of maintenance modeThat should get you going in the right direction ... Ask if you have problems with the steps.
