CMS Made Simple Forums

I have CMSMS 1.1.4.1 installed

Apache version 1.3.41 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.5
MySQL version 4.1.22-standard
Kernel version 2.6.9-67.0.1.ELsmp

The site belongs to a non-profit, unfortunately I haven't done anything to CMSMS since installing in Oct 07 - I should have done some updates, but haven't 

Anyhow, the site has been 'compromised' recently and yesterday the host removed a bunch of files. I have a full backup of the site from April 08 which should take care of the missing files, but I obviously need to upgrade to ver 1.3.1 and address the security issues the host raised.

I have removed the files as listed below, the client had 777 world writeable permissions on the modules folder and I recommend this site be terminated and new updated software be uploaded.

What are the steps in upgrading the site from 1.1.4.1 to 1.3.1

Should be able to just download the full v1.3.1 release, unzip, upload the files, run the installer, and you're done.  I did the same recently.

so just run the installer and use the existing dbase, username and password ?

yep did as suggested, then restored dbase and refreshed page  all working as before

many thanks for quick response and simple solution
