I closed down the Board and successfully backed up the Forum and the database

My web hosting company had all the Instructions step by step on how to backup a database on their UBB.Wiki


I am in the middle of upgrading and do not understand the Instructions


Quote:
Upload all files and directories from the unzipped UBB™ directory to the UBB™ installation directory, except for the includes, styles, and cache_builders/custom directories. You will want to upload all of the .php files within the cache_builders directory, just make sure not to upload the custom directory or files within it.


So I upload all the files from the unzipped install directory to an install directory on the server?

So I must 'create' an install directory on the server - ?

correct?

The install directory is the UBB directory; it wants you to take all of the files from the zip you downloaded here (minus the directories "includes", "styles", "cache_builders/custom") and put them in your UBB directory and then run the install/upgrade.php file

Yes, you'll know you're in the right directory on the server, as you'll see a file called ubbthreads.php and a bunch of directories like admin, cache, images, etc.

Connect to your server using your FTP client. Navigate the client to your current UBB™ installation directory.

Upload all files and directories from the unzipped UBB™ directory to the UBB™ installation directory, except for the includes, styles, and cache_builders/custom directories. You will want to upload all of the .php files within the cache_builders directory, just make sure not to upload the custom directory or files within it.



I feel like I am not understanding this



Upload all files and directories from the unzipped UBB™ directory = C:\ubb\7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\ubbthreads-7-5-5\install



The UBB™ installation directory = demongov.com/ubbthreads



Correct ?

since you are UPLOADING to your server.. you copy from your harddrive to your server..

so example:

c:\temp\ubbthreads\install directory

goes to your site

/ubbthreads/install directory

1 for 1 wink

I'm glad you told me that

I was understanding Gizmo and Rick said:

From: c:\temp\ubbthreads\install directory

To:

goes to your site

/ubbthreads directory

---

I don't have an install directory on my server

So I have to create an install directory on my server now

correct?
