Upgrading vShare 2 to 2.1

Before doing upgrading, take backup of your files and database, this will save your site from any mistake.

vShare 2.1 have a new table added to database.

To create the table, in phpmyadmin run the sql file

install/vshare-upgrade-2-2.1.sql

Unzip vshare.zip to a folder vshare.

Now you need to prepare the file for upload.

Move following folders/files from your local vshare folder to another folder as these contains user data, is already present on your server.

Now upload all files to your server in BINARY mode and overwrite existing files.

If you have modified templates, you need to only upload modified/added templates listed above.

After you uploaded all files, you need to run

http://yourdomain.extn/install/convert_password_md5.php

DO NOT RUN INSTALL SCRIPT, THAT WILL OVERWRITE include/config.php

Only run this once, this will convert all user passwords to secure MD5 encrypted password.

After running, delete install folder.

This version use GIF image for watermark, so you will need to re upload watermark image. This change is made as many asked for transparent image support.
