@ jameswilliamI discovered some issues with couple of the upgrade files, and have fixed them for XOOPS 2.5.7. If you want to test them, you can checkout the /upgrade folder from the XOOPS SVN
@ xoobaruI guess, we'll have to be more specific in the future, to avoid confusion.
The overall "Upgrade" is a two-step process.
1) First you "update" your current files with the files from the new version of XOOPS. You can do it by either:
a) copying all the files except /install folder and the "mainfile.php" file (full update)
b) if exists, you can take the "update package" (e.g. xoops2.5.5-to-2.5.6a.zip) and then copy all the files from there to the XOOPS 2.5.5
2) Then you need to copy the /upgrade folder to your root, and run the "upgrade", by going to:
http://yoursite.com/upgrade and following the directions there, incl. in the end updating the System module.
After this is done, you should delete the /upgrade folder.
Let me know if this makes more sense. Feel free to make suggestions how to make this explanation simpler and easier to understand.
