FrontAccounting Update
Important Notes
- You can easily upload all the files to your installation folder on the
server overwriting the existing files, if you take these important
steps:
- Backup (download) the following files to another folder:
- config_db.php (contains information about the companies and
connection info).
- config.php (contains various settings. You only need to
backup this file if you have done manually changes to it.
- /lang/installed_languages.inc (contains information about the
installed languages)
- /modules/installed_modules.php (contains information about
installed modules, only vers. 1.1)
- if you have made changes to other files, like themes or so, backup
these files too.
- Upload all the new files.
- Restore the files mentioned in #1. Be careful with
config.db. Look into variances. There might be new variables in
the new version. It might be easier to manually change your former values in
the new file.
- Rename or remove the /install folder (you have already performed the install
process earlier).
- If there are changes to the database structure, please run the script update_db.php
from FrontAccounting root installation, Enter the database user and the
password and choose the update script from the local harddisk.
- When updating release 1.XX to release 2.0, you must run the update_db.php script and select the file - alter.sql - that are located in the sql folder. You must
do this, before entering FrontAccounting!
Enter the database user and the password and choose the alter.sql
script. Do the same for the alter2.sql script. If you have
already updated release 2.0 Beta, you can just run the alter2.sql script.
You must also manuelly ensure that you have write permission to the new folder /company/0.
