Upgrading AWBS

AWBS Upgrades must be performed with each version in order of version release. View the Change Log for version release order.

Always download the upgrade zip and read the docs/readmexx file prior to doing anything. Each version has it's own instructions and any details on new setting changes, etc.

As a general rule, upgrades go like this:

• Make a full file backup of your site (All AWBS files)
• Get the correct download zip where you purchased AWBS. (Requires active support contract)
• Read the docs/readmexx (xx = your AWBS version upgrade)
• Prepare custom files if necessary
• Put your AWBS site into maintenance mode
• Make a db backup
• Upload all new files with paths in binary mode, overwriting existing files
• Make configuration changes if applicable as per the readme for that version
• Turn off maintenance mode
