Upgrade from 2.2 to 2.4.1

Can you provide simple instructions to upgrade from 2.2 to 2.4.1. I think I can do it but some basic instructions would be greatly appreciated as it seems like I have a really old version and cannot find directions on the site.

Thank you!!

Hi,

I am also looking to upgrade.

Someone please help.

Cheers

You'd need to manually change the auth table.

I don't suppose you could be more descriptive? I would like to upgrade also, and tried just copying over all the files but the admin config file and it worked while viewing the guestbook but if I tried to add a post I got some sort of database error. It seemed to be looking for something to do with the new human authentication...

The LAST_VISIT field needs to be changed to last_visit and the type changed from timestamp to int(11).

Ummm, mine is allready set that way. I'm upgrading (or trying to) from 2.3.4 to 2.4.1. When I FTP all the 2.4.1. files over I can read the guestbook fine and it says at the bottom of the page that it's version 2.4.1 but when I try to enter a post I get a Query error that says:

I'm guessing its because 2.3.4 didn't have any captcha stuff in the database... I'm not big on MySQL but could probably stumble my way through creating the stuff that is needed if you could detail what I'd be missing that wasn't in 2.3.4.

Thanks!

You also need to run update_db.php found in the misc folder.

Thanks for the quick replies! Running the update script worked like a champ...

2 things:

1st... I got error messages (something about permissions) when I tried to add an entry with the new 'Picture' feature... but since I don't really want that feature in my guestbook I just disabled it in the admin settings and the posts work fine now.

2nd... I hadn't fully edited the admin\config.inc.php file by accident. I only had the first few lines filled out (the DB info) but neglected the $GB_PG["base_url"] entry below that... when I changed it to point at the URL where guestbook is installed all of my Emoticions and Captcha images no longer loaded and I got errors when hitting sumbit on a new entry. Removing the URL such that it is only "" now and all is well. Any thoughts on this?

You set base_url wrong is my guess. It should be http://www.yoursite.com/guestbook
