Upgrading CMS Builder

Generally, upgrading is a simple matter of uploading all the files that have been updated from the previous version.

VERY IMPORTANT!

You must backup before upgrading. At a minimum, we recommend backing up your /css/, /data/, and /uploads/ directories and your MySQL database.

If you do not know how to backup your MySQL data, contact your web host for assistance.

If upgrading from v1.23 or lower

Make sure your server has PHP 4.3.2 or better (PHP 4.3.2 was released in May 2003) (The previous version required was PHP 4.3.0 so this version is only slightly newer)

Upgrading to latest version

To upgrade to the latest version, make the following changes to your [cmsAdmin] folder (the folder on your website where you originally installed the software):

1) Upload these files:

    /[cmsAdmin]/*.*   (all files)

2) Make sure these files and directories are writable: (if you haven't already done so)

    /[cmsAdmin]/data/   (directory only)
    /[cmsAdmin]/data/settings.dat.php.default   (file only - if it exists)
    /[cmsAdmin]/data/backups/   (directory only)
    /[cmsAdmin]/data/schema/   (directory only)
    /[cmsAdmin]/data/schema/*.*   (all files)
    /[cmsAdmin]/data/schemaPresets/   (directory only)
    /[cmsAdmin]/data/schemaPresets/*.*   (all files)
    /[cmsAdmin]/uploads/   (directory only)
    /[cmsAdmin]/uploads/thumb/   (directory only)
    /[cmsAdmin]/uploads/thumb2/   (directory only)
    /[cmsAdmin]/uploads/thumb3/   (directory only)
    /[cmsAdmin]/uploads/thumb4/   (directory only)

3) Remove these files & folders if they exist:

      /[cmsAdmin]/css/ui.css              (removed in v1.34 - moved to /[cmsAdmin]/style.css)
      /[cmsAdmin]/css/ui_ie6.css          (removed in v1.34 - moved to /[cmsAdmin]/style_ie6.css)
      /[cmsAdmin]/css/wysiwyg.css         (removed in v1.34 - moved to /[cmsAdmin]/lib/wysiwyg.css)
      /[cmsAdmin]/images/                 (removed in v1.34 - moved to /[cmsAdmin]/lib/images/)
      /[cmsAdmin]/tinymce3/               (removed in v1.34 - moved to /[cmsAdmin]/3rdParty/tiny_mce/)
      /[cmsAdmin]/lib/plugins/            (removed in v1.34 - moved to /[cmsAdmin]/plugins/ *MOVE PLUGINS BEFORE REMOVING*)
    
      /[cmsAdmin]/lib/menus/accounts/     (removed in v1.24 - no longer needed, merged with /lib/menus/default/)
    
      /[cmsAdmin]/tinyMCE/                (removed in v1.06 - moved to /[cmsAdmin]/tinymce3/)
