Topic: I need help ugrading to the new CutePHP

Hi there,

We have version 1.4.6 and I am trying to upgrade with a clean version to the newest one, however I don't want to loose the data we have before.  The upgrade instructions are not clear to me and now there is a new folder called "cdata".  I don't want to overwrite my data, but could someone tell me which files I need to overwrite from my old version to the new version including username and passwords?  I think I want to back-up my old CuteNews, install the clean newest version, then overwrite some of the files with my old CuteNews.

If anyone could help me, that would be great.  I tried to install it and it did not work properly.

Re: I need help ugrading to the new CutePHP

I'm with you... The upgrade instructions are not that clear, especially for upgrading from 1.4.x to 1.5.3.

$matches[1]

<ol type='1'> * Before you start, you should $matches[1] on your webspace - I recommend you to download it to your local harddisk.
* $matches[1], eg. "NewCutenews". You can also use the old folder, because the new CuteNews 1.5.x uses cdata-folder instead of data-folder, it will not overwrite data of CuteNews 1.4.x, but I recommend you to use a new directory temporarily.
* Run $matches[1] and enter the path to your old CuteNews installation.
It has to be the root path! e.g. $matches[1]  or  $matches[1]
To find out the root path, you can upload and run a test.php file with 

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

in it. Run the test.php script and search for $matches[1] to get the root path.
* After migration you will be forwarded to the new CuteNews - have a look at your data and check if everything's still there.
* When everything is alright, rename your old cutenews folder to "OldCutenews" and $matches[1].
* $matches[1] Your includes within your website should still work. If your website works well, you can delete the folder "OldCutenews" on the webserver.
</ol>

THANK YOU so much!!  All your steps worked perfectly and I really appreciate you taking the time to explain each one.  Good job.  And I learned about phpinfo() in the process!  Score all around.
