Best way to Upgrade to 2.0.4
I presently have Links SQL 2.0.3 installed and running "live". I have already downloaded the .tar file of v. 2.0.4. What is the best or proper way of installing the new version over the previous version without interrupting the existing live site?

Thanks, in advance, for anyone's advice.

There's a file in the archive called update or upgrade, something like that. Everything you need to know about the best and proper way to upgrade is contained in this file.

Hi,

First off, re-download 2.0.4, there was a small bug in add.cgi that I just updated.

Now, what I would recommend is backup your Links SQL directory, and backup your data.

Then, just upload the install.cgi and install.dat file and run install.cgi (run it from the web if you installed from the web, or run it from shell if you installed from shell), and select upgrade and enter in the path to the admin.

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Alex,

I got a number of Plugins installed on my LinkSQL 2.0.3, If I upgrade to 2.0.4 are they going to be ruined? Is there any risk?

Tahnks,
