Update from 4.0.6 to 4.1.4
 

Hi guys,
I've a big vbulletin community and I need to update it from 4.0.6 to 4.1.4. Do you have some tutorial or suggestions to give me to update my board, please?
Thanks a lot

There are quite a few guides floating around. But basically all you have to do is backup the database, overwrite your forum files with the 4.1.4. files and then run the upgrader.

In general,

Backup, Back up, Backup.
Download the lastest version of vbulletin from your client's arena.
Overwrite your forum files with the latest files except config.php

run the upgrader, then click next next....and next

from 4.0.x to 4.1.x you will face some template changes then checkout the notifiacation for templates changes in admin control panel. Correct it.

It's simple but important to make a backup (in any case you know).

Lol I'm late. Doesn't refesh this page for a while. :D

Good luck!

Guys, thanks a lot for your suggestions :D

The last one thing that I missed on my previous post....I've installed a few mods, should I disable them before the upgrade phase?
Thanks again :)

You should but you must not.

Btw for disable all of your mods, here is the fastest way, add this line to your config.php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

after <?php.

And remove this line when you are finished with the update.

Thanks a lot Jeff! :)
