Hello everyone,

I'm Starting out with a fresh (1 click installation) of 2.2 in a separate XOOPS directory (and password protected for now),

I could have just installed 2.3.3 but this seemed the best time to get comfortable with the upgrade process.

Following the upgrade instructions and the security instructions I need to change the path to the xoops_lib and xoops_data directories.

Does this seem right?

1) I am assuming that since there is no mainfile.php that the changes are to be made mainfile.dist.

2) Since I placed the XOOPS documents in its own directory I am assuming that I need to change line 23 in mainfile to:

define("XOOPS_ROOT_PATH""/var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/xoops_directory ");


3) Now for security reasons change line 27 (library path) to:

define("XOOPS_PATH""/var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/xoops_directory/new_directory/prefix_xoops_lib");


and line 29 (data path) to:

define("XOOPS_VAR_PATH""/var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/xoops_directory/new_directory/prefix_xoops_data");


Folder Question: Now load the entire contents of xoops-2.3.3 or only the htdocs folder to the server?

Thanks for any help,

Steve
