<li>Uncompress the new version and copy the result to the same path that your old installation had. For instance, if your old Geeklog was in <code>/usr/home/www/geeklog/</code>, then your new installation should also be in <code>/usr/home/www/geeklog/</code>.<br>
<br>
! <li>The next step depends on which version of Geeklog you are upgrading from.<br>
<br>
! If you are upgrading from Geeklog 1.2 or earlier, change to <code>/path/to/geeklog/sql/updates</code> and apply all needed database updates. For example, if you are upgrading from Geeklog 1.1, you will need to apply 1.1_to_1.2.sql and 1.2_to_1.2.2.sql which will upgrade your database to Geeklog 1.2.5-1. I say 1.2.5-1 because there were no database changes from 1.2.2 to 1.2.5-1 (e.g. a 1.2.2 database is the same as a 1.2.5-1 database). If you are uncomfortable using the MySQL command line to do this, you can do it via phpMyAdmin as well.<br>
<br>
! If you are upgrading from 1.2.5-1 or a more recent version, the second step of the installation script should have an option to convert your database to the current version.<br>
<br>
! Please note that only "basic" version number are listed, because, for example, Geeklog 1.3.7 and 1.3.7sr2 use the same database. So if you're upgrading from Geeklog 1.3.7sr2, just select "1.3.7" (the same applies to 1.3.5 / 1.3.5sr1 / 1.3.5sr2).<br>
<br>
! <li>The rest of the upgrade process is identical to the install process. Once you successfully run the install script, you should be ready to go after restoring any files with custom code.
</ol>

<li>Uncompress the new version and copy the result to the same path that your old installation had. For instance, if your old Geeklog was in <code>/usr/home/www/geeklog/</code>, then your new installation should also be in <code>/usr/home/www/geeklog/</code>.<br>
<br>
! <li>As with a fresh install, edit your <strong>config.php</strong> and <strong>lib-common.php</strong>, basically just copying over the information from your old copies of these files.<br>
<br>
! <li><em>If</em> you are upgrading <strong>from Geeklog 1.2 or earlier</strong>, change to <code>/path/to/geeklog/sql/updates</code> and apply all needed database updates. For example, if you are upgrading from Geeklog 1.1, you will need to apply 1.1_to_1.2.sql and 1.2_to_1.2.2.sql which will upgrade your database to Geeklog 1.2.5-1. I say 1.2.5-1 because there were no database changes from 1.2.2 to 1.2.5-1 (e.g. a 1.2.2 database is the same as a 1.2.5-1 database). If you are uncomfortable using the MySQL command line to do this, you can do it via phpMyAdmin as well.<br><br>
! If you are upgrading from Geeklog 1.3 or later, you can skip this step.<br>
<br>
! <li>Open your browser and navigate to <strong>http://yourgeeklogsite/admin/install/install.php</strong>. Enter your path to Geeklog and make sure you select <strong>Upgrade Database</strong> as the installation type, before you click on the "Next" button. The second step of the installation script should have an option to convert your database to the current version.<br>
<br>
! Please note that only "basic" version numbers are listed, because, for example, Geeklog 1.3.7 and 1.3.7sr2 use the same database. So if you're upgrading from Geeklog 1.3.7sr2, just select "1.3.7" (the same applies to 1.3.5 / 1.3.5sr1 / 1.3.5sr2).<br>
<br>
! <li>Once you see the success message, your upgrade is complete. <b>You can now delete the admin/install directory</b> (and all files within it).<br><br>

+ <p><strong>Answer:</strong></p>
+ <p>First of all, make sure the database settings in <tt>config.php</tt> are correct, specifically the name and password of your MySQL user, the name of your database, and the name of your MySQL server.</p>
+ <p>If you're running your own server, you may need to give your MySQL user
+ proper permissions. Log in to MySQL as the MySQL root user and issue these
+ commands:</p>
+ <code>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON <em>database_name</em> TO <em>user at host</em> IDENTIFIED BY '<em>password</em>';<br>
+ FLUSH PRIVILEGES;</code>
+ <p>Replacing the lower-case strings with the actual values, of course.</p>
+ <p>If you want (or need) to be more restrictive with database permissions:
+ You will need to at least grant the ALTER, CREATE, DELETE, INSERT, SELECT, and
+ UPDATE permissions to your database user. ALTER and CREATE permissions are only
+ needed for installing and upgrading Geeklog, as well as for installing plugins
+ and other add-ons.</p>
