I have done the upgrade but my problem is a bunch of stuff is not working properly yet. I'm working on it.
To upgrade, just download the 2.3.3 files for XOOPS (full version). In it there is a readme telling you what to do. You delete some of the files and folder, for example, mainfile.php and some others. You move the upgrade folder into the htdocs folder locally. When you've done those things, upload all the files, over-writing those on your server. Then, access the upgrade.php file via a browser. You will be walked through the upgrade.
What I have done is to create a duplicate site. I'm working on that to avoid breaking my live site, until I'm sure it will work.
I duplicated the database for my site, giving it a name like mysite23. Then I duplicated the site, putting it in a folder mysite23. I edited the mainfile.php file in the latter to reflect the new database and site paths. Once I confirmed that site was working under 2.2.4 I did the upgrade.
If you work directly on your site I agree with the advice that you must backup your site file and database before proceeding.
Good luck.
