The upgrade is similar to v4's ones before.


The file in the zip pack /Upgrader/v4 to v5/sqlupdater.php does all the job database wise.
Upload it to your root installation (near load.php) and open it in browser as www.yoursite.com/sqlupdater.php  , wait for it to say the upgrade was done.


Now your PHPVibe v4 database was converted to v5.


For files:

Upgrading should be simple:


- Redownload (best way)


Keep:
- /media
- /uploads
- vibe_config.php (easiest way to keep is to delete the one in the new v5 pack before uploading)


At the bottom of vibe_config.php add

Code Select Expand

/* Choose between mysqli (improved) (Note: beta wrapper in PHPVibe) and mysql */
 define( 'cacheEngine', 'mysqli' );

To switch it to mysql improved.
Else it will keep using mysql as database engine.




Upload and fire up sqlupdater.php to get the new database upgrades in place.
Else, the files have been changed.


Make sure you chmod /moderator/alog.txt to 0777 or your writeable number.

Makes sure you don't upload hold and /setup.

Please keep an eye out for patches since this is a beta still http://www.phpvibe.com/forum/232/v5-patches/msg29778/#msg29778
