Quente

Where is a full instruction of the manual Update.
My Forum is 2.0... and i want to update to 2.1, with my data.
The only thing I habe found is that: http://vanillaforums.org/docs/installation-upgrade
That does not help.

Those are the full instructions - what more do you feel you need to know?
But this is for a Upgrade. When i want a new version of the software i must install the software complete new?
Ok where is the backup-button?
First off read this
http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/20866/urgent-help-needed-all-discussions-page-empty/p1
that would be located in vanilla's sister application - it is called phpmyadmin.
anybody maintaining a forum should learn the fundamentals of exporting and importing databases.

thirdly - I don't know if there is a seamless update to 2.1. As far as I know it hasn't been released. If you aren't pretty familiar with databases and vanilla, I would wait until it is released.
and try searching the forum for upgrade and backup. Reading and searching for other discussions sometimes gives the information you need.
Navigate to the page in your forum that updates your database: www.yourforum.com/utility/update (or www.yourforum.com/index.php?p=/utility/update)
@kasperisager - do you know if the above works correctly now in 2.1 As far as transitioning from 2.0 database to 2.1
Early on - I found it did not work for me. But haven't tried it since.
I just created a new test database.
