MAXdev 1.083 UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS

Upgrading from MAXdev 1.07 ONLY

In the upgrade process, the tables and contents are examined to see whether they reflect the latest changes. A change is thus accomplished only to the tables that have changed.

1. Before you do anything else, make a backup of your database. See MySQL Tools or use phpMyAdmin.

2. In Settings->AutoTheme->Extras, deactivate Auto (short) URLs if you use them.

3. Download and save a copy of your .htaccess file, your config/md-config.php file and your robots.txt file

4. Unpack the latest distribution on your server or unpack them on your local computer and upload the files to your server

5. Go to www.yoursite.com/install.php and follow the upgrade instructions

6. Remove install directory and install.php

7. Login as admin, go to modules in admin menu, regenerate and activate all modules and place them under the proper tabs.

8. Need to be completed

9. If you had any additional files or directories listed in your .htaccess file, either copy them to the new .htaccess file according to the HTML extension you use and upload it or simply upload the copy of your .htaccess file that you were instructed to save. The same applies to the robots.txt file. The copy of the md-config,php is just a precautionary measure and is not ordinarily used.

Please report any bugs you may discover.
