copy database information from 2.3.1 config.inc.php to 2.4.1 config.inc.php

Upload 2.4.1 folder

Run upate_db.php by visitig it in your web browser. It's in the misc folder.

OK:

1.) I renamed the old GB and then uploaded the new GB folder.
2.) I ran the update file and it did something, the update worked because I went into the Admin tool and it said 2.4.1.

Things that are wrong:

1.) My old URL to go to the GB was http://www.allshewroterocks.com/gb/output.php. Now it doesn't work. What do I do?

2.) None of the pictures transferred over that people posted. I found them in the "public" folder of my old GB structure and uploaded them and it did not work. How do i fix this>

3.) I now have to access the GB via this URL: http://www.allshewroterocks.com/gb/. It is very slow. Whats going on?

Can you guys help me fix this?

It doesn't need to know. All the entries are stored in the database not in the web space.

UGh, I am sorry guys. OK, so I know why the pictures didn't show up. I uploaded the pics to the right directory, but was using the wrong URL for the GB. The GB is "http://www.allshewroterocks.com/gb/index.php". Everything works. I don't know why my old webmaster set the URL to "http://www.allshewroterocks.com/gb/output.php" before.

Anyway, looks like all is good, I just have to go change the URL's on my website to match this now.

Is there any reason not to do this now?

Thanks alot.

No not really. Just delete the old one afterwards.
