============================== UPGRADE QuickTicket to v1.9 ============================== To upgrade from version 1.6, 1.7 or 1.8 to 1.9, you can proceed with a normal installation (see here after). Remarque #1 It's recommended to backup your config.php file in the /bin/ directory (in case you don't remember the connection parameters of your database) Remarque #2 If your board allows user photo (avatar) or document upload, it's recommended to NOT delete the /avatar/ and /upload/ directories. Other files and folders can be deleted before installing the new release. ============================== INSTALLATION of QuickTicket v1.9 ============================== BEFORE starting the installation procedure, make sure you know: - The type of database you will use (MySQL, SQLserver, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Firebird, Oracle, MS-Access via ODBC, Informix or DB2). - Your database host (the name of your database server, often "localhost") - The name of your database (where the QuickTicket can install the tables). - The user name for this database (having the right to create table). - The user password for this database. 1. Upload the application on your web server -------------------------------------------- Just send (ftp) all the files and folders on your webserver (for example in a folder /quickticket/). If you are making an upgrade, do NOT overwrite the /avatar/ nor the /upload/ directories. 2. Configure the permissions ---------------------------- This step is very important ! Without this configuration, the installation programme will not work and the database will not be configured. Change the permission of the file /bin/config.php to make it writable (chmod 777). Change the permission of the directories /avatar/ and /upload/ to make them writable (chmod 777). 3. Start the installation ------------------------- From your web browser, start the installation script: install/install.php (i.e. Type the url http://www.yourwebsite.com/quickticket/install/install.php) This script will ask you the database connection information and create the necessary table in it. 4. Clean up ----------- When previous steps are completed, you can delete the /install/ folder on your website and set the permission for /bin/config.php to readonly.
