The upgrade directory comes with the upgrade patch. After the upgrade is done, it is normally removed. https://www.deanbassett.com |

Hi do the folders have to be uploaded one by one ps is it correct to delete the file .htaccess within the upgrade folder , or do i delete the whole file with all content many thanks You have to upload all the folders and yes, delete the .htaccess file in the upgrade directory then proceed as in the directions. You should use some type of FTP program for uploading them all at once. ManOfTeal.COM a Proud UNA site, six years running strong! |
Hi many thanks for your help but in the guide it does not say delete the whole upgrade folder , once everything is complete does the folder stay with just the .htaccess file deleted within the upgrade folder. |

Great many thanks thats why i have no upgrade folder then lol ive never had an upgrade before , yet again you both have been a great help . You're welcome, here is a video I made awhile back. It shows how to upload all folders files to your server using FileZilla, it's best viewed fullscreen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7EQa3oGd8M
p.s. it was made to show how to do the betas, but it is the same for all upgrades. ManOfTeal.COM a Proud UNA site, six years running strong! |
And we can never stress this enough, backup all, as in ALL, site files and your ENTIRE database. Keep that backup in a safe place in case of an oops. Geeks, making the world a better place |
