<p>Upgrading</p>

Updating phpVMS is pretty straightforward. Any template customizations should be in in your skin's folder. Backup your current install and the core/local.config.php (just in case).

Updating from the downloaded version:

1. Download the latest copy
2. Extract the latest copy to a local directory
3. Delete the core/local.config.php from the local directory (it shouldn't exist, but just incase)
4. Upload to your server, overwriting all of the old files
5. Visit install/update.php to complete the update (certain portions of your site may not work until you do this).

Next, read the changelog.htm file, to see what changes have been made to templates. To specifically see the changes, I suggest using a tool such as WinMerge.

Note: This is the same procedure for updating to beta versions.

Updating from Git

If you installed phpVMS using git, do:

cd phpvms
git checkout v2.0

It will then automatically update to the latest. Navigation to install/update.php to complete the upgrade. At the moment, v2.0 is the latest tag which is available. When the next version is available, it will be listed here.
