Upgrading from 1.4.1 to 1.5.0

+
+

Note

+

The instructions on this page assume you are running version +1.4.1. If you have not upgraded to that version please do so first.

+
+

Before performing an update you should take your site offline by +replacing the index.php file with a static one.

+
+

Step 1: Update your CodeIgniter files

+

Replace these files and directories in your “system” folder with the new +versions:

+
    +
  • application/config/user_agents.php (new file for 1.5)
    • +
  • application/config/smileys.php (new file for 1.5)
    • +
  • codeigniter/
    • +
  • database/ (new folder for 1.5. Replaces the “drivers” folder)
    • +
  • helpers/
    • +
  • language/
    • +
  • libraries/
    • +
  • scaffolding/
    • +
+
+

Note

+

If you have any custom developed files in these folders please +make copies of them first.

+
+
+
+

Step 2: Update your database.php file

+

Open your application/config/database.php file and add these new items:

+
$db['default']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
+$db['default']['cachedir'] = '';
+
+
+
+
+

Step 3: Update your config.php file

+

Open your application/config/config.php file and ADD these new items:

+
/*
+|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+| Class Extension Prefix
+|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+|
+| This item allows you to set the filename/classname prefix when extending
+| native libraries.  For more information please see the user guide:
+|
+| https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/core_classes.html
+| https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/creating_libraries.html
+|
+*/
+$config['subclass_prefix'] = 'MY_';
+
+/*
+|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+| Rewrite PHP Short Tags
+|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+|
+| If your PHP installation does not have short tag support enabled CI
+| can rewrite the tags on-the-fly, enabling you to utilize that syntax
+| in your view files.  Options are TRUE or FALSE (boolean)
+|
+*/
+$config['rewrite_short_tags'] = FALSE;
+
+
+

In that same file REMOVE this item:

+
/*
+|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+| Enable/Disable Error Logging
+|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+|
+| If you would like errors or debug messages logged set this variable to
+| TRUE (boolean).  Note: You must set the file permissions on the "logs" folder
+| such that it is writable.
+|
+*/
+$config['log_errors'] = FALSE;
+
+
+

Error logging is now disabled simply by setting the threshold to zero.

+
+
+

Step 4: Update your main index.php file

+

If you are running a stock index.php file simply replace your version +with the new one.

+

If your index.php file has internal modifications, please add your +modifications to the new file and use it.

+
+
+

Step 5: Update your user guide

+

Please also replace your local copy of the user guide with the new +version.
