Ok, just so I know. Do we just upload all the files except the workspace folder, and then run the install.php again?
According to the fixes, you should be okay doing that. I personally would recommend wiping it clean and doing a fresh install, as I did.
As per the README.txt
:
[UPDATING] 1. Backup /symphony/.htaccess 2. Replace /symphony & index.php with those contained in this archive. 3. Run the following SQL, changing sym_ to match your table prefix, to get your database up to date: ALTER TABLE `sym_sections` CHANGE `entry_order_direction` `entry_order_direction` ENUM('asc', 'desc') NULL DEFAULT 'asc', CHANGE `hidden` `hidden` ENUM('yes', 'no') DEFAULT 'no'; 4. Dance likes it 1999!
There should be a step 2.2, which is to put the backed up /symphony/.htaccess
into the new /symphony
folder.
To be clear, the update process for beta will be a bit hands on. I haven't had time, nor the inclination, to write update code for the installer (it will be there eventually though). The README.txt
file contained in each beta revision (currently rev 2) will outline exactly what you need to do in order to update from the last version. If you are in doubt, do a clean install. Remember this is beta, so if you are using it for a production site, and find you have problems updating, you have been warned!
lol, I never read the readme files to demonstrate I'm not a sheep.
"baaaahhh"
Muffy?
LOL good one, dave.

BUGS
/symphony/lib/toolkit/class.frontendpage.php
now uses a local file system path. This stops problems related to using allowurlfopen on some serversrawurlencode()
andrawurldecode()
to ensure that the filter strings are valid.PHP4
compatible so that users onPHP4
will correctly see the message about requiringPHP5
for installation. Previously it just threw a fatal error with no indication why./symphony/.htaccess
file and that/symphony
is writable.hidden
andentry_order_direction
to allowNULL
values.
