If you already have 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7 installed you can upgrade to 4.0. To do so download the 4.0 version of the script and upload everything except db.php, you can keep your own version of that file (you also don't need to re-upload the install directory). Once everything has been uploaded run update/index.php from your browser, here it will ask you to enter the version number of the script you currently have installed it will then update the database with all the necessary changes. If all has gone well you should be prompted with a message telling you the upgrade is complete and to also delete the update file.
Cool thanks, I uploaded all of it but not the dp file but I get this message when I log in Statement: SELECT defaultmodule FROM news30_users WHERE user = ?
yep. i get the same.
You can either install 4.0 from scratch by uploading everything then navigating to news/install/index.php, or you can upgrade a previous version by uploading everything except db.php, then navigating to news/update/index.php. Which are you both trying to do?
im trying install a new clean copy.
Then link me to it so that I can see your server config. When you're installing, on Step 1, which extension are you using? MySQL/PDO/MySQLi?, which browser are you using to install?
I re-stepped through the install process [to check the details I had set up] and this time its installed and offered entry to admin plus delete of install.
Suggest that LIsa retries stepping through the install process.
is it actually compatible ?
I had to go back to 3.7, that error message still would not go.
