Dear all,
I read the instruction of upgrading to OJS 3.0.0 both in the package and in Github but I do not seem to understand the procedure.
- Download and decompress the package from the OJS website - Make a copy of the config.inc.php provided in the new package[Where should I paste it? Into the currently installed version and replace it with the existing one?]
- Move or copy the following files and directories from your current OJS installation: - config.inc.php - public/ - Your uploaded files directory ("files_dir" in config.inc.php), if it resides within your OJS directory[Why? Will I have to copy them back to the existing folder later?]
- Replace the current OJS directory with the new OJS directory, moving the old one to a safe location as a backup.[If so, why should I copy this and copy that if I can just replace them all? I am sure I do not understand this]
- Be sure to review the Configuration Changes section of the release notes in docs/release-notes/README-(version) for all versions between your original version and the new version. You may need to manually add new items to your config.inc.php file.[So, I dont have to run any command. The procedure is complete. I just need to upgrade the database and that's it. Will my previous publications be deleted?]
Thank you for your help. I desperately need it.
Thank you
Faisal
