Upgrade

IMPORTANT: If you have php121 already installed you have to uninstall it.

If at anytime during your upgrade you ran into trouble, please click on the "Help!" link in the top menu bar for the most commun issues that might help fix your issue. Most upgrade issues we have come across in the past we have complied in a list to help you debug and fix your issue right away.

Upgrade: Step 1 - Prepare your site

  1. Delete all the items inside the folder /inc/cache/ ( If this folder exists depending on the version you are running)
  2. Now make sure all profile images are located in the folder: /member/i/p/2005/01/ So if you have created more than 1 folder like for example /member/i/p/2005/02/ and or /member/i/p/2005/03/ you will have to move those images into the main default folder. This can be done via a FTP client.

Upgrade: Step 2 - Uploading

At this point you should have the zip archive "unzipped", which should have contents similar to those shown in this structure guide:
upload/
Readme.html

Go into the folder "upload/", which should have contents similar to those shown in this structure guide:
design/
file/
include/
plugins/
site/
update/
index.php
robots.txt
Upload the files and folders to your site where you already have your phpFoX site installed. Be sure to overwrite any old files.

Important: You will have to move/upload the files found in the folder "update/ancient/_files/" to your sites root directory. It will have the following:
inc/
phpfox_config.php
phpfox_version.php

Once that is completed and all files have been uploaded to your server we can move on to the next step.


Installing: Step 3 - CHMOD & File Permissions

With the Konsort package there are certain folders and files that need write permission in order to execute certain tasks from the admin control panel.

Below you will find the folders and files that must have full write permission and set to 777 in order for the script to be installed. Notice we have marked certain files with the (YES) which signify the folders that must have write permission even after install. These folders would mainly be folders used to cache templates or storage to keep all images being uploaded by your members.

Konsort Files:
file/ (YES)
update/file/
file/content/en/email_comment.html
file/content/en/email_crush.html
file/content/en/email_forum.html
file/content/en/email_invite.html

inc/cache/phpfox_fields.php
inc/cache/phpfox_memberships.php
inc/cache/phpfox_smile.php
Once you have completed CHMODING all the needed files and folders please continue to the next step.

Installing: Step 4 - Run Web - Up-grader

Next you will need to run a web APP to upgrade your database. Run the up-grader file through your web browser by entering the URL into your browser address bar (if you have followed our example, type in http://www.domain.com/update/ancient/phpfox.php, naturally subsituting 'domain.com' for your web address.)

Once you have reached the web APP please select your version and it will update your site to version 1.1.

Once it has completed its upgrade to version 1.1 you will need to continue to upgrade your software package to the latest Konsort version. It will guide you and redirect you to the Konsort upgrade package.

When you have reached that upgrade APP you will have to follow the Konsort Upgrade Guide.

Note, that you can skip steps 1 & 2 in that guide since you have already done them. Click on the link below to get to the Konsort Upgrade Guide. It will link you directly to the correct step.
