To upgrade KBPublisher use the installation wizard.
Before you start
Please note that upgrading via the wizard is possible only for version 2.0 and above. If you are currently using an older version of KBPublisher upgrade to version 2.0 first.
Overview
- Rename your current KBPublisher installation directory. For example to "kb_old".
- Backup your database.
- Unpack the distribution package to directory where the previous version of KBPublisher was installed.
- Open your browser and go to http://<your_domain>/<kb_installation_path>/setup/index.php, where <your_domain> is your domain name, and <kb_installation_path> is the path where KBPublisher is installed. e.g. http://mydomainname.com/kb/setup/index.php
The installation wizard comes up.
- Follow the installation wizard instructions.
Notes
- The original installation will already have kb_file and kb_upload directories. Check where these are, and during the upgrade make sure that your kb_file and kb_upload directory paths are the same as for original installation
- Here is a recommended directory structure for KBPublisher
kb_file - is for uploads via 'Files' module
kb_cache - is for cache files
kb_upload - is for uploads via the HTML editor
kb_file, kb_cache and kb_upload directories must be writeable by PHP.
On a Windows system this generally is not a problem, but on Linux systems you will need to CHMOD these directories to 0777.
