Re: Xoops System Upgrade Tutorialnice work! 
Re: Xoops System Upgrade TutorialGood work but...
Your tutorial covers extraction to a web site using FTP. I'm trying to extract the archive to a local server which doesn't have FTP running on it, by using the Gnome Nautilus file manager. If I respond to the query to replace a directory during the copy process then the directory is deleted and only the files contained in the upgrade are placed back in the directory when it is replaced. If I choose not to replace the directories then the new files are not copied in either.
I.E. there is no easy way effect the upgrade. Not sure if Windows file manager behaves in the same way.
Also, you might warn people that you need to save the mainfile.php from the target installation prior to upgrade and then edit the newly installed one to have the correct values after upgrade.

Re: Xoops System Upgrade TutorialThanks for your input akinson. I have never run an upgrade with the Gnome Nautilus file manager, so I cannot give any input on its use. From your above statement which do you use with it to effect an upgrade?
Mainfile.php should only be possibly overwritten if upgrading with the full install version of Xoops, the patch does not contain it. Furthermore mainfile.php, along with the rest of the site should be backed up on the local computer regardless. It saves alot of headaches when something goes wrong.
And JulioNC thanks also.
Re: Xoops System Upgrade TutorialI just posted a questions about upgrading and then I found this (I do things assbackwards sometimes) thanks for your work! I'll try this now.
Re: Xoops System Upgrade TutorialI'm following the instructions. I uploaded the folders overwriting the exiting ones as noted. But when I went to the System Admin>Modules folder to update the System I got a blank page!
Re: Xoops System Upgrade TutorialAlso, I use a custom template -- would that have anything to do with the blank page?
Re: Xoops System Upgrade TutorialTurn on PHP debug for blam=nk page. Custom template is covered in the tut, but does not cause a blank page.
Re: Xoops System Upgrade TutorialI can't. When I try to go to the general preferences page to set php debug that page is also blank. I on the custom template page in the tutorial that your check mark was by the default template set -- my check mark is by my custom template.
Re: Xoops System Upgrade TutorialSee this to enable debug mode from the database Here.
You can also switch to the default template from there. in the _config table.

Xoops System Upgrade Tutorial Question@jdseymour
WOW! This is great. Just what I needed.
(EDIT: Never mind I found the answer to this question on this thread located here.)
However I have to update a site that is still the 2.0.6 version. Do I have to use all the intermediate upgrades? Can I just use the latest patch to upgrade?
How do you recommend I do the upgrade from the 2.0.6 to the latest 2.0.10?
Thank you for all your help and work.
Re: Xoops System Upgrade Tutorial QuestionYou would need to upgrade 2.0.6 to 2.0.7, then use the 2.0.7 to 2.0.9.2 patch, then finally to 2.0.10.
Hope this helps you.
