To upgrade your Concrete5 installation from a previous version, do the following (note, this will only work when upgrading from versions LATER than Concrete 5.0.0a4).
- Archive your database and your web root…just in case something should go awry.
- When ready, replace your “concrete” directory with the “concrete” directory contained in the latest version downloaded from SourceForge.
- Go to http://www.yoursite.com/index.php/tools/required/upgrade (Note: if this does not work, try http://www.yoursite.com/index.php/tools/required/upgrade.php)
- Make sure to follow any pre-upgrade instructions (for example, Concrete5.0.0a4 requires a jobs/ directory be created in your webroot.)
- Finally, when ready, click the Upgrade button.
