Re: Upgrading An Archaic Version of CMS Gradually to Latest

According to the web hosting company, the MySQL DB shows only one for this domain in my friend's account so I guess it is using the same database as you mentioned. If someone else did put that there shouldn't they have deleted the Install directory with the upgrade.php file after a successful instal...
