1. Download the latest build from the members area.
2. Extract the archive to your hard disk (or to the server with any available utilities).
3. Upload (or move) all files EXCEPT for the cache_builders/custom, includes and styles directories.
4. Ensure chmods. All directories should be 777. All files should be 666.
5. After uploading (or moving) all directories, and ensuring all chmods are correct, run the install/upgrade.php script.
6. After you've gone through the upgrade procedure in the upgrade.php file, be sure to REMOVE the install and importers directories.

NOTE Please be sure to create a backup of your database and files before upgrading your installation; the upgrade should happen without a hitch, however, it's better to be safe than sorry...


Gizmo, in step #3, is it correct that at this stage all the old files are being over-written by the new ones?

This is a first for us - we've only done new installations, not upgrades. So forgive the questions. \:\)

Yes, in step3 you are over writing the old files with the current ones.

Questions always welcome; it's why this thread isn't in the FAQ and instead is a sticky of this forum ;\)

I am following thse instructions - I have no upgrade.php file that I can find and it wants to create new tables as I am doing this. This does not seem correct - any help would be greatly appreciated.

The upgrade.php file should be in your /install folder

And if there is no upgrade.php file in the install/ directory, you didn't upload all of the files from the install archive.

Sorry if this has been asked before but:

I'm currently on Version: 7.2.2/Linux and am about to upgrade to 7.3.1. Is the documentation located here http://www.ubbcentral.com/doc_upgrade7.php the latest?

Thanks

There isn't much change at all in the upgrade route within UBB7
