Trouble upgrading from 2.0.2

I have a question about upgrading from 2.0.2 to 2.0.4 as well.

Yep, just pickup the two package manager upgrades going from 2.0.2 -> 2.0.3  & 2.0.3 -> 2.0.4. Install them in numerical order. You shouldn't have any issues with your templates. As always backup. Let us know if you run into any trouble.

In the package manager, however, there is only a bug fix for 2.0.2, no upgrade to 2.0.3



And when I click on that link, I get a 500 error.



Any advice?  :o

QuoteYes, go here and download the individuals patches and upload/apply them as mods.

Now I just downloaded the file for 202 -> 203, what do I do with this file, FTP it? To which folder? Is there a page with instructions for that?

And do I need to make these edits?
http://custom.simplemachines.org/upgrades/index.php?action=upgrade;file=smf_patch_2.0.3.tar.gz;smf_version=2.0.2
Or is that automatic if I use the file I just downloaded?

Thanks,

No, you can download the patches and install them as a modification via Package Manager like mashby was suggesting.

1. Download package.
2. Upload package.
3. Apply package.
4. Rinse and repeat until you are up to 2.0.4.
Always be a little kinder than necessary.

He wasn't sure "where" to upload the package though, whether via FTP or to Package Manager which was the clarification he needed - Package Manager.

You know, I have trying to figure this out for two weeks, and just happened to stumble on this thread.  Got mine updated from 2.0.2 to 2.0.4 in a snap!

Thank you for your simple guide!

Also completed the upgrade from v2.02 to v2.04 all went rather easy and all seems to work as it should, I take it that the template files dont need upgrading and would probably be quite complex ?
