Just looking through all the stuff in Cpanel and one of the apps is instal SMF current version 2.0.9 - Can it be that easy? I am trying to upgrade from 1xxx but it's been so many years that I can't even remember where I extract the install to.

Well, you can install 2.0.9, and I recently used Softaculous on one of my sites to upgrade from 2.0.8 successfully (because I wanted to know if it would work), but I believe a conversion from 1.x to 2.0.x is a little more involved.  I think there is a database conversion that is necessary.

Thanks, kind of figured as much. Gonna just upload the new files and do it that way.

As noted in your other thread - you do not use the INSTALL archive. You need to use the UPGRADE archive.

'course, once you upload the files, you can't just leave them there, or you WILL get a visit from Mr. Cockup...

HOW TO UPGRADE

You WILL backup EVERYTHING, before you attempt this, won't you? (Click my sig. to get info on doing that)
