Topic: upgrading from 1.2.5 to 1.2.11

now i need to upgrade from punbb 1.2.5 to 1.2.11 can i get the change files from 1.2.11 or do i have to download the whole thing of 1.2.11 and when i do what do i have to go along and do? i hated my experience with upgrading phpbb 2 cause often i messed up and had to reset the forum every time. i want to get it right.

Re: upgrading from 1.2.5 to 1.2.11

use the hdiffs and add the changes manually

http://punbb.org/download/hdiff/hdiff-1 … 1.2.6.html
http://punbb.org/download/hdiff/hdiff-1 … 1.2.7.html
http://punbb.org/download/hdiff/hdiff-1 … 1.2.8.html
http://punbb.org/download/hdiff/hdiff-1 … 1.2.9.html
http://punbb.org/download/hdiff/hdiff-1 … .2.10.html
http://punbb.org/download/hdiff/hdiff-1 … .2.11.html

Or, go directly:
http://punbb.org/download/hdiff/hdiff-1 … .2.11.html

Or, if you know how to use patch, use the patch file. There are instructions on the download page.

Is there a way to back up my database, then do a new install then restore it?
