Upgrading

Streber supports a fully automatic upgrade:

  1. Logout of streber
  2. make a backup of your database to be sure
  3. download the latest stable version
  4. copy (overwriting) all directories except "_tmp", "_settings" and "_files" to your server (overwriting the _files directory could delete your uploaded files!). Just keep in mind, that directories starting with "_" contain your stuff, whereas all other directories needs to be overwritten.
  5. copy the files in the root dir:
    • index.php
    • favicon.ico
  6. Do not overwrite customize.inc.php if you made changes
  7. with your favorite browser got to www.your-web-server.org/streber/

Streber will notice the version change and provide you a link to the installation/upgrade functions. It will automatically use your old settings. Your press "install/upgrade".

After upgrading, be sure to delete the install directory.

Upgrade issue
If you have this database (0.07991) to (0.0801) issue with upgrade as I had:
>> checking version of existing database
>> FAILED
>> could not get propper db-version table entry. Please view
>> Installation Guide on hints how to proceed.

this helped:
To fix this issue please leave only one row in {table prefix}_db table in your database and run upgrade process again.
I had same problem because I had two rows in this table. After I have deleted one upgraded process completed successfully.
see www.streber-pm.org/5952 for reference

I still had to do this afterwards:
Go into file:std/common.inc.php and remove from line 97 :echo "%% strip slashes"; - that is all. :: See www.streber-pm.org/5870 for reference

Now all works fine :-)
