Upgrade from 4.1.6 to 4.1.7

[The Slug]

Hello All,

I admit it, I dont have a clue, but have managed to get the forum up and working thanks to help on here.....

So I thought I would do the upgrade as I keep getting told every time I login.
Downloaded the files unzipped it read the instruction (thats where the problem started)and had a go.

Good job the backup worked ok......

These are the instructions, now I might be taking them to litterally!

Close your board via the Admin Control Panel.

Upload all files from the 'upload/' folder in the zip, with the exception of 'install/install.php'.

Open your browser and point the URL to http://www.example.com/forum/install/upgrade.php (where www.example.com/forums/ is the URL of your vBulletin). You should now be automatically forwarded to the appropriate upgrade script and step.

If any errors occur, copy the error and please contact support. DO NOT continue with the upgrade. Doing so may cause irreversible damage to the database.

Follow the instructions on the screen. Make sure you click next step or proceed until you are redirected to your Admin Control Panel. Here, you can reopen your board


So my first question was if I copy up the files like it tells me to its going to overwrite my original files and fear I would loss all the pics etc, so do I send up the folder "upload"?

The second having tried the first and found an error message sayong no config file is what did I miss?

Thanks

updating the forums you will not lose any pics etc
as to the config check in your includes folder to see if it is there

Remember that just because the admin page says there is a new update out doesn't mean you have to update, My advice if use any Version you are comfortable with, and only update if there is a new feature in a new update that you would like or need a security update.

rule of thumb with any upgrade test it out on a test forum first to see how everything is...you may not want to upgrade your main site
