Upgrading IPS Correctly

[Jeffrey]

There are a lot of members that are posting support requests regarding problems during upgrading their suites. To prevent more topics from being opened in the support section, I'll have a guide on how to upgrade your forum correctly.

Things Needed;

• Shared Hosting or Virtual Server
• Knowledge of Cpanel's File Manager
• Follow Instructions

Instructions;

• Head over to the IPS Community Suite and download the latest WF version - https://webflake.sx/files/category/147-ips-community-suite-44/
• Once you have downloaded the latest version, log into your hosting control panel.
• Find and open file manager.
• Go into the directory your IPS Suite is in - This is usually public_html, /community/, /forum/, or /forums/.
• Click Upload.
• Select File.
• Find the IPS Suite archive you've downloaded from WF.
• Upload it.
• Once it has been uploaded, refresh the directory. You'll see the archive in your directory. Right click and click "Extract".
• All of the folders from the archive will be extracted into your directory. It will be in a folder with the title of the archive to keep it organized.
• Go into the folder inside your directory.  Holding the Ctrl key, click all the files.
• Once they have all been highlighted, drag them into the directory your IPS Suite is in.
• The old files will be overwritten.
• You will have to change the permissions of the following directories to 777 - /applications/, /datastore/, /plugins/, /uploads/, and /uploads/logs/ - To change the permissions, right click on those directories in the file manager and click Change Permissions. Check all of the check boxes.
• Open a new tab and enter your forum url into the address bar. Before you hit enter, type the location of your IPS ACP followed by the upgrade directory - /admin/upgrade/
• Using an administrator account, follow the upgrade steps.

Yes. I downloaded and moved the files correctly, I also gave permission on the folders.

"IPS Community Suite 4.3.3 [WF NULL]"

Visit the upgrade link;

http://yoursite.com/admin/upgrade (not an official link). Add /admin/upgrade after your domain in the address bar.

Are you upgrading from a retail version or a legit copy of IPS?

I mean, you're original forum (4.1.8)

Há muitos membros que estão postando solicitações de suporte sobre problemas durante a atualização de suas suítes. Para evitar que mais tópicos sejam abertos na seção de suporte, eu terei um guia sobre como atualizar seu fórum corretamente.

Coisas necessárias;

• Hospedagem Compartilhada ou Servidor Virtual
• Conhecimento do Gerenciador de Arquivos do Cpanel
• Siga as instruções

Instruções;

• Vá até o IPS Community Suite e baixe a última versão do WF -  https://webflake.sx/files/category/136-ips-community-suite-43/
• Depois de ter baixado a última versão, faça o login no seu painel de controle de hospedagem.
• Encontre e abra o gerenciador de arquivos.
• Vá para o diretório em que está o seu IPS Suite - geralmente é public_html, / community /, / forum / ou / forums /.
• Clique em Upload.
• Selecione o arquivo.
• Encontre o arquivo do IPS Suite que você baixou do WF.
• Faça o upload.
• Depois de carregado, atualize o diretório. Você verá o arquivo no seu diretório. Clique com o botão direito e clique em "Extrair".
• Todas as pastas do arquivo serão extraídas em seu diretório. Ele estará em uma pasta com o título do arquivo para mantê-lo organizado.
• Vá para a pasta dentro do seu diretório. Segurando a tecla Ctrl, clique em todos os arquivos.
• Depois de todos terem sido destacados, arraste-os para o diretório em que está o seu IPS Suite.
• Os arquivos antigos serão sobrescritos.
• Você terá que alterar as permissões dos seguintes diretórios para 777 - / applications /, / datastore /, / plugins /, / uploads / e / uploads / logs / - Para alterar as permissões, clique com o botão direito do mouse nesses diretórios no arquivo gerente e clique em Alterar Permissões. Marque todas as caixas de seleção.
• Abra uma nova guia e insira seu URL do fórum na barra de endereço. Antes de apertar enter, digite o local do seu IPS ACP seguido pelo diretório de atualização - / admin / upgrade /
• Usando uma conta de administrador, siga as etapas de atualização.
