Classifieds 2.0 Upgrade Instructions

[Michael P]

Classifieds 2.0 represents a significnat upgrade over the 1.8 releases. As such, most of the files have changed.

To upgrade from a previous version of Classifieds, you should follow these steps:

1) Perform a backup of your database.
2) Shut down your ads area by selecting Closed in the Edit Config area.
3) Upload the files:

All the main directory files, except for config-inc.php and install.php
templates/*
forums/*
languages/*
images/*
help/*

4) From the upgrades directory, upload the scripts to your main Classifieds directory and run upgrade.php (or, if you are just upgrading 1.8.X, you can just run the upgrade18.php script). This script will update your database; once it has finished you can remove all the upgrade*.php files.
5) Open your forum in the Edit Config by setting the value to "Open".

Congrats! You are now running version 2.0!
