Upgrading from 1.5.4 to 1.6.0
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:
- system/codeigniter
- system/database
- system/helpers
- system/libraries
- system/plugins
- system/language
Note: If you have any custom developed files in these folders please make copies of them first.
Step 2: Add time_to_update to your config.php
Add the following to system/application/config/config.php with the other session configuration options
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;
Step 3: Add to your database.php
Make the following changes to your system/application/config/database.php file:
Add the following variable above the database configuration options, with $active_group
$active_record = TRUE;
Remove the following from your database configuration options
$db['default']['active_r'] = TRUE;
Add the following to your database configuration options
$db['default']['char_set'] = "utf8";
$db['default']['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";
Step 4: Update your user guide
Please also replace your local copy of the user guide with the new version.
