Upgrades

[Mark_Breznay]

I am running 2.0.2 in one forum and 2.0.5 in another and having db problems. What do I need to do to upgrade them.

Thanks

How about a simple explanation?

Did you read the link?  That tells you exactly what you need to do.

A short explanation would really help.

1 Download The Upgrade Archive

    2.1 Back up Your Files
3 Extract The SMF Archive and Upload The Files to Your Website
4 Set File and Directory Permissions

That's about it, yup. Its all about backing things up though.

Your forum running 2.0.2 seems to be working just fine. You should be able to patch your way to 2.0.11 instead of having to upgrade to it. Read this link on how to patch- http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Patching

In a nutshell; you have to patch one version at a time, so 2.0.2 to 2.0.3 then to 2.0.4, etc. until you get to 2.0.11. If you've installed a package (mod/add-on) before,you can patch your way up to 2.0.11

The other one that is having db problems; what exactly is happening? When did you start having the problems, and was it caused by installing or uninstalling a mod by chance?

Neither sundayniagara.com or hon3forums.com are working. Both are having db problems. Additiinally, Tucows reported a phishing scam from hon3, which the host is working on.

well, before you can upgrade properly, you will need to resolve any database issues...
