UPDATE ClanSphere 2008.X to ClanSphere 2009.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Create a backup of your modified and added files 2. Save the contents of the database, for example in MySQL with the tool phpMyAdmin Note: The built-in export in ClanSphere is currently only suitable for small amounts of data 3. Make sure a login.htm exists in the template to open the page in maintenance mode Caution: If it doesn't exist please copy the one within the clansphere template including its CSS files 4. Set the mode of the page to maintenance, which can be found inside System -> Options -> ClanSphere 5. Go to System -> Database -> Import and run the files from the updates directory Caution: Do only execute files from your current version up to the new one Note: In older versions ClanSphere the database module can have another name 6. Unzip the contents except for the directories docs and updates, first locally and then on the webspace Note: At best use a FTP program e.g. FileZilla 7. Remove the existing logs directory when it is not used for other logs like e.g. the Apache webserver Note: If unsure the previous log directory can be found inside the index.php file and is defined in the array $cs_logs Note: Future logs are automatically stored into the uploads/logs directory, so you need to change its CHMOD 8. Remove the files publish.php and counter.php from the directory system/runstartup Remove the files and lang.php content.php from the directory system/core 9. When your charset inside the comlang files of the languages is left unchanged it might be ISO-8859-15. With this update you have to add the following line to your setup.php file (change the charset if it differs from your old one): $cs_main['charset'] = 'ISO-8859-15'; 10.Make sure that all settings are correct in the CMS and view the error logs for problems Note: You can disable the maintenance mode now and the update is finished Caution: If you use mods or addons that are not theme-based and therefore need the deprecated html functions please change the require_once from xhtml_10.php to xhtml_10_old.php in system/core/functions.php Please visit the wiki for questions: http://wiki.clansphere.net/Update Alternatively ask for help in the board: http://board.clansphere.net
