4. How To Upgrade

Zeroboard XE is under beta testing, and new version is quite frequently released.
Here, we explain how to upgrade safely and easily.

Upload new version to your account^#

Use patch (update file) to upgrade^#

Usually we provide a patch file for administrators to upgrade easily.

The patch file contains only changed(modified / added) files from previous version.

Download the patch file from Zeroboard XE Official Site, then extract it and overwrite the directory you installed Zeroboard XE.

Use entire fire (source archive) to upgrade^#

The source archive contains all the file of the ZBXE.

Similarly with the case of using patch file, you need to download the source archive file and extract to the directory.

In this case, some files already installed might be unnecessary. To remove those files, and to keep clean source files, you may remove all the files except files directory, then install the source archive file. Also, you should keep files you additionally installed to original ZBXE files.

ZBXE keep all configuration and attached files in the files directory.

Use SVN^#

 You just need to update source directory. In the root directory of ZBXE, execute this command.

 svn update

Update modules and Caches files^#

Update modules^#

After uploading new version of Zeroboard, you should check if there exist modules to be updated at Administration page.

You can check it from the Module menu.

If there exist something to update or install tables, you can see Update, and Install at Action column of the module like following screenshot.

Click all the Install, and Update links.

Recreate Cache files^#

Cache files should be recreated, after upgrading. Please re-create cache files at the index administration page.
