Hi.

I'm currently running in prod (IceInSpace) last years april release of RC4, and want to upgrade to 1.2.1-DEV.

Is there anything special I need to know? Do I just run the upgrade script to update the tables? I'm guessing I'll need to re-apply any php file and template changes after uploading all the new php files?

Can I just upgrade straight to 1.2.1-DEV or do I need to install every patch since april 2004?

Is it going to be straight forward or should I expect troubles?

Thanks for your help.

If you have not applied ANY mods or hacks then you can...after a complete backup or all files & db... upload over the old files but I am sure that you will have to apply all upgrade sql's from your relese to that of the current release , in order. by using the SQL function within phpMyAdmin this should only take a few mins.

There are no production problems that I have found so far and would consider it to be as stable as previous releases under normal a working environments (the only environment I use )

I do now have to login in twice though - A problem I have not had for years , popping back like an old school friend - amusing by its novelty but soon revealing the reasons why you haven't really missed them

Thanks for your help.

Can anyone else concur that this will have to be done?

there is a file called upgrade.php in the folder setup. first update your sql entries to 1.1.9 and then to 1.2.1. i think this was it. but when you see the posibilities in upgrade.php everything should be fine.
