updating board to new version

[lasto]

at moment im currently on 3.0.7 now i want to upgrade to new version.

Do i have to copy all the files from the upload folder (overwriting the ones on the server) or do i just need to upload the upgrade files that are located in the install folder as its threw me a bit as if i copy every file across me board may not work again.

Any hints on tips from anyone who done it as to what may go wrong if i do this ??

You will need to upload all files (except install/install.php)

Be aware that on upgrading from 3.0 to 3.5 you will loose all your code edit hacks.

You could best first do a testupgrade on a test board.

Please view the official upgrade documentation. You might also want to have a look at vb.com in the Upgrade & installation forum at the stickied post "EVA2000's upgrade method"

i thought i would have to

so whats the difference between me uploading the upload folder and changing the config file to point to the database without upgrading ??

Basically does the same thing wont it

The database and the files mut always be of the same version.
