vShare 2.6 to 2.7 Upgrade Guide
Backup Your Site
Before you start upgrading, take backup of your site including database and files.
Non English Sites
If you have site with non english language, you need to convert database to UTF-8 before you upgrade vshare. If you do not do this, there are chances of some charactor get changed.
We recommend "Approach 3" described at
http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2009/03/17/converting-character-sets/
If you don't know how to do this, contact [email protected]
If you skip this step, site will work, but there can be chances of some characters displayed wrongly.
Remove Old Files
You can delete (or move to a temporary folder) all folders and files other than following
chimg flvideo photo thumb video include/config.php
I suggest you to move the files and folders to a temporary folder, so you can refer them if needed. Most FTP software allow you to move files and folders.
Upload new files to server
Download vshare2.7.zip from
http://buyscripts.in/download/vshare2.7.zip
Extract and delete include/config.php from extracted files.
Now upload everything to your server, make sure you don't overwrite include/config.php file in server.
Set permissions
Make following folders writable by web server.
chmod 777 cache chmod 777 include/htmlpurifier/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer/HTML
Run upgrade script
After you uploaded new files, you need to run upgrade.php to upgrade database.
