I don't have the TMS MOD installed and have the AWS MOD, version 3.6.8, installed successfully. So what exactly do I need to upload and/or edit (templates/files) to upgrade to 3.6.9?

I got this error when I tried to update to the latest version. Image is below.

You have to install TMS as well.

/docs/upgrade.txt

I assume I first need to create the table "warningtype" and then import the SQL dump from the "warning_types" table?

No the warningtype table will be created by the product import.However if that is your wish you can

[SQL]
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS warningype (
warningtypeid INT(15) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
title varCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
warn_points INT(15) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
warn_desc text NOT NULL,
warn_maturity INT(5),
warn_permban tinyint(1),
warn_type tinyint(3),
warn_alert tinyint(1),
warn_alertcomment MEDIUMTEXT,
PRIMARY KEY (warningtypeid));
[/SQL]
you just caught a bug the install code in the product file is not correct updating that ...The above query will query the new table

So the route I need to take to upgarde to 3.6.9 is this then:

1. SQL Dump of the warning_types table. And what does 'dump' actually mean? Is this the same as 'export'.
2. Run the above query to set up the 'warningtype' table
3. Import what was dumped in to the new table.

Anything else? Do I need to import the product and/or remove from product-aws.xml:

you only need todo this if you do not have the tms installed or you are for some reason unwilling to install it this step will stop vBulletin from throwing an error message if this is not installed and you try to import the product

I think I almost got it. From my first step that I listed, can you tell me what actually an SQL dump is of a table? Does this mean exporting the table information? And if I do the three steps above, I do not need to reimport the product-aws.xml, correct?

If I have 'vb' as my table prefix for all of my tables, where in the above query do I need to add the prefix?
