Dear Xoops,

I run XOOPS 2.0.5 on a third party private server. I installed Liase 2.1 and it wont function because I need to run 2.0.6 as a min. requirement. I want to upgrade my XOOPS from 2.0.5 to 2.0.6. I have backed up my database into an sql file and have also backed up the site content into a tar.gz file. I have spent 3 hours looking for support material detailing how to upgrade and haven't found something directly relevant. I wish to upgrade XOOPS using the 2.0.5 to 2.0.6 patch available on this site. Do I need to set all the permissons, blocks, content etc again?

In summary:
How do I apply the patch and reinstall the database and content?

Sorry for this novice question.

reading the readme file always helps.. lol

but no there's no need to do any database restores..

just copy all of the files from the 2.0.5 to 2.0.6 upgrade patch to ur server overwriting existing files, and that's it.. possibly update system module via admin..

same with 2.0.6 to 2.0.7

i don't think there's any database changes till u upgrade to 2.0.7.1 so you'll need to run the upgrade patch then..

but there's a 2.0.7 to 2.0.7.3 upgrade patch anyway.. just follow the instructions to the word..

Wow... that easy huh!

Ok, I copied them over and updated the system in modules. My footer shows 'powered by XOOPS 2.0.5' - is this a minor detail? where can i confirm that the system has updated?

Many thanks
