There are 8000+ members on the forum I want to upgrade from 7.5.5 to 7.5.6p2. I am running a little scared of the consequences of a screw-up so I need a confidence injection.
I have downloaded the full 7.5.6p2 and have browsed the doc_upgrade7.php file. It seems fairly straight forward. Do I have to worry about file and directory permissions since this is a living breathing forum?
Usually no since the file/folder permissions are already set.
And you have a minor upgrade.
But I would keep the board closed till you at least check it.
Since a admin can still see the board.
And don't forget the cardinal rule. Backup,Backup,Backup.
