You can use the hdiffs.

yes I figured out that this will probably be the easyest way to do it. Just one more q (sorry im not expert, had never do a upgrade before), muss I after I made the chages using hdiffs, muss I run some install script or something or is this already patched and ready to go ?? tnx for answ

Re: PunBB 1.2.15

It could be that there are some database changes. I don't know for sure, but it should be fine to just download a 1.2.15 archive, and run db_update.php in the extras/ folder.

Re: PunBB 1.2.15

ok will do that with db at the end... am just one more: I see that all files in hdiffs are changed in upload directory...  dont get it, I have these files somewhere else ... is this ok that I just just find thath file named and make changes ???

Re: PunBB 1.2.15

Yes, it doesn't matter where the files are.

Re: PunBB 1.2.15

o.k. elbekko many tnx !!!  For now I have managed to modify from 12. to 14. with no probs. I didnt update install.php becose I didnt find it in my forum folder - I hope this even dont mathers in my case, becose no new install was made - PLEASE CORRECT ME HERE IF IM WRONG!  In the end after hdiffs changes with my notepad , I just run 12_to_1214_update.php for db changes (btw this includes also the version number change in db).  Tomorow I will try to update to 15., hope it will be so smothe like this too. tnx again and regards!

Re: PunBB 1.2.15

install.php isn't a problem indeed.

Re: PunBB 1.2.15

Wait... You mean that to use the Hdiffs one who is at punbb 1.2.13 must upgrade first to punbb 1.2.14 before doing the same with 1.2.15?

Re: PunBB 1.2.15

No.

Re: PunBB 1.2.15

Okay, I'll give it a try smile.
Thanks.

Re: PunBB 1.2.15

To be more precise, there are hdiffs to go from any version to the latest.

Oh ok... Now it's clearer. I'll look for the hdiff that I need.

Re: PunBB 1.2.15

I used hdiffs to upgrade from 1.2.12 to 1.2.15. I just made the changes to the file and ftp'd them up to the server. But the version number on my forum still says 1.2.12 and when I check for newer versions, it tells me there is still a new version. Is there something else I need to do?

TIA

Re: PunBB 1.2.15

Run the db update script included in the 1.2.15 download package.

Re: PunBB 1.2.15

So I need to do that even if I changed all the files by hand using hdiff? And since I don't have shell access can I run that update script using PunBB shell?

Re: PunBB 1.2.15

The hdiff shows the modifications to the files but you need to run db_update.php (via your web browser) to apply the modifications to the database.

- Get the punbb 1.2.15 zip, go to the extras folder, and get the "12_to_1215_update.php".
- Send it via ftp to your server.
- Go to your browser and run: xxx/forum/12_to_1215_update.php and then it's pretty simple.

I hope this helps smile.
