Upgrade process 1.5.1 - 1.5.4 - install.php? [Solved]

[sponna]

Hello,

I just upgraded 3 sites from 1.5.1 -> 1.5.4. However, I just over wrote files rather than ran the install script - this was because I couldn't find it even though in a couple of the diff packages the "install" directory and some sql appeared? Have I done the updates correctly or was there a db update that should also have been done please? All seems to be working ok.

This package is great but if anything could be improved its the update instructions please - just a simple "this one needs you to run the upgrade file" or "just overwrite files - no db update needed" or similar would be cool. Apologies if those instructions are there and I'm looking in the wrong place.

Anyway, if someone can confirm that my simple file over-writing was ok, that would be great.

Many thanks,
Dave

1.5.1 -> 1.5.4 have changed files only.
However (unless you use diff) install/upgrade.php is not wrong, because:
- Check if you have some broke new files
- Check if your ISP has changed some php configurations
- Check DB version (if necessary)
- Clean your cache

Alby,

Thanks for your prompt response and clarification. Looks like I'm ok with file over-write as none of the other parameters should have changed. I did use the "diff" packages.

Thanks again,

Dave
