How to upgrade XOOPS


Before launching the update, it is necessary to make a backup of the site and the database! It is strongly advised to test the update locally before updating the site in production.
For a good preparation, it is advisable to prepare all the files on your computer before sending them to your server.
The first step is to extract the files contained in the archive. The first step is to extract the files contained in the archive:
docs
extra
htdocs
upgrade
CONTRIBUTING.md
LICENSE
README.md
release_notes.txt
For the update, you can keep only the files:
htdocs
upgrade
You can copy the htdocs and upgrade folders from the translation into their respective folders in XOOPS.
The upgrade folder can be moved to the htdocs folder of XOOPS.
You now have a single htdocs folder that contains the XOOPS files and the upgrade folder
Don't forget the xoops_data and xoops_lib folders which are normally in outside the site root with another name. Leurs contenus doivent aussi être mis à jour
