a. Source +files update
+ +Extract distribution +zip/tar.gz file in empty directory, and copy all the files to your +FrontAccounting directory overwriting old files. If it is major +release upgrade you can skip next step and go directly to cleanup.
+ +b. Configuration +files update
+ +Compare new +config.default.php +file with the +old +config.php and +add all new +settings (if any). +
+ +The following variables has been moved from config.default.php into sys_prefs table:This step can be +skipped +for small version updates i.e. when you have already installed +FrontAccounting version 2.4 or later. Before database upgrade is +done on all company databases backup file is created automatically to +enable database restore after failure.
+After major version +upgrade overwriting files in first step makes the system unaccessible +for all users but site admin, who have to run upgrade procedures to +update all company databases to the new version provided with the +release. After logging to administrator account of first installed +company go directly to Setup/Software Upgrade screen, mark all +subsequent 'Install' checkboxes and press 'Upgrade System'.
+If something goes wrong during +upgrade, you can eventually try forced upgrade option. Forced upgrade +ignores some smaller errors which can arise during upgrade due to +some exotic database configuration. This is depreciated option, so +first read error messages if any, try to fix signalized problems, +restore databases from backup and retry normal installation. To run +upgrade in forced mode check box 'Force Upgrade', and press 'Upgrade +System' again.
+Remove or rename install folder in main FrontAccounting +directory. +
During upgrade process new features are initialized to default +status, and sometimes old settings are also changed to conform with +new security policy. This automatic process is designed to be as +neutral for end users as possible, however sometimes site or company +admin intervention can be necessary to set thing after changes to +their best state. Below you will find description of new settings +available after upgrade.
