To do that, get the large upgrade archive, for the version of SMF that you're using, and simply upload all the files, except upgrade.php, to your site, overwriting what's there, now.

Your mods will still be in "Packages", too.

You'll just need to reapply them.

[K33NY]

THANK YOU! but it wont delete the database as in members registrated and forum boards? only take away all the mods?

[kat]

Members, posts and all that luvvly stuff's in the database, yes.

So, they'll all remain as-is.

You might have to fart around with any custom themes that you have, though.

[K33NY]

I am atm using the Skm Night theme nothing else, only thing I want to is have ALL errors gone icluding mods, themes deleted, just the plain main site with members registrated, and forum still there.

Then to start over with the mods and install them porperly this time as well as the theme,

I think what started all the errors is that when choosing theme I had mods installed in that theme as well, even if it wasnt compitable with it :S


So if I underastan right I download big package thingy, and overwrite the database with the content of it? and all errors, mods, themes will be gone?

[kat]

The theme will still be there. What you're about to do doesn't touch the database, at all.

You can always replace the theme with a virgin version, before you start installing mods, though.

Might even be best to delete the theme, before you do the other thing.

In fact, before you do ANYTHING, read my sig. (Just in case)

[K33NY]

yes I already have a backup installed, the only thing that worries me thoug is that IF the site would crash I dont have acces to MySQL to install the backup thats where my techie guys comes in, but he is gone cus he just became a father this morning.

[kat]

Worth waiting until he's in circulation, again?

Mind you, he ain't gonna get a lot of sleep, poor sod.

[K33NY]

hmmm yeah maybe wait for him to be back i just want mods to work properly and stop all the errors -.-

haha yeah he will be busy

[kat]

As I said, though, this really doesn't affect the database, at all.

We ain't touchin' it, Guv!

What is the different between a large upgrade and a small upgrade?

[Illori]

the number of files included in the archive, it is recommended to use the large upgrade package for any install that has mods installed on it.

[kat]

Basically, large upgrades overwrite almost every file, without touching Settings.php, which is crucial.

Smaller upgrades are only patches, really (Kinda).

[eric1234]

I see. So what is the small upgrade basically for?

[kat]

Bug fixes, mainly.

[Illori]

the small upgrade package is for those that do not have any mods installed, they will only get the files that had been changed since the last upgrade. both the large upgrade package and the small have the same files that had been edited just the large has more for those that have mods installed.

[K33NY]

[kat]

What FTP client are you using?

[K33NY]

(Make sure "Transfer type" is set to "Binary", though).
