Article Manager Upgrade Instructions - download upgrade - changelog
  1. Back up your data.
    Please be sure to backup all your original files before upgrading.
  2. Do not just overwrite all files with the new ones.
    There is no need to re-install the program, all you need to do is upload the updated files.
  3. Follow the step-by-step Upgrade Instructions below.
    Start at your current version number and work your way up.

Using your FTP client, upload the specific files to your server, overwriting your old Article Manager files that you have backed up. Make sure to upload each file into its respective directory. ONLY upload the files listed that are required to update your version of Article Manager to the current version.

Your upgrade package includes all the product files, including blank articles data files and original templates. If you are upgrading, DO NOT just upload the data/* and templates/* files unless instructed, otherwise you will overwrite your existing data and templates.

PATH TO PERL: If your server previously required that you change the path to perl when you first installed the software, you will need change the path for the following upgrade files:

exec/admin.cgi
exec/search.cgi
exec/syndicate.cgi
exec/view.cgi
On most servers, the default path is correct and no change is required.
