Here's what I did when I was connected to my server:I uploaded the patch-0.0.6.txt file and renamed it to patch-0.0.6.php.Now where will the "upgrading successful" show?

If it said upgrading successful then yes.

-------------------------

I think that 005-006 upgrade is a bit more difficult task so we might want to start making video tutorials on minor upgrades :)

I liked the upgrade guides that came with Seditio/LDU...

Step by step even with skin changes.

Yes. Then run it once and after it says "Conversion complete" remove the php file (for security).

So save it as a php file in the public html folder?

Read carefully Updating from 0.0.5, it says:

4. Copy sql/patch-0.0.6.txt, save it in your site root as patch.php, run in web browser like http://your-domain.tld/patch.php and then remove patch.php from your site.

# Dave : man.. make db backup, and try anything, what ver of 005 u have? or smth different/older?

I have cotonti 005.I want to know how to get my site from looking like this.Go to the links page.Nevermind that.
One thing I have figured out:It all has something to do with mySQL.

1. I think there was a separate patch file. Upload it to site's main folder and run in the browser.
2. If not, there's a folder of sql patches - these you've got to launch in Mysql administration

Luckily we spent the last problem over the config-sample piece so yea, you might upload everything and not kill stuff. Or you might actually listen to the video tutorials and we'll see what happens.

Here, use the first seconds of this one --> http://www.cotonti.com/docs/en/upgradevideos/uploading_ftp_config_php <--, upload everything I say apart from the 'skins' directory.

We're currently making a video tutorial request plugin where you will be able to upload specific questions like this one and have them explained in detail with video.

Soon (not soon enough? PM Trustmaster )

What are the main files?About what you said I am basically uploading all the files I uploaded last time?Everything?

Lombi

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 07:41:57 -0000

If by deleting you mean replacing then yes.

Upload what I said and overwrite everything. AND DONT UPLOAD ANYTHING I DIDNT SAY AND DONT OVERWRITE ANY OF THAT.

minoation

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 07:07:29 -0000

Does the update involve deleting anything?
And the main files would be?

Lombi

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 07:03:23 -0000

Upload system folder, plugins folder and the main files.
