Upgrading?

[rustyp]

Hi

Sorry if this has already been asked..

 

How can I upgrade when a new version comes out for example I am currently running 5.6-Nano and I see that 5.6.1-Nano has been released do I have to do a new full install or can I some how upgrade my currently installed 5.6-Nano ?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Thanks for a great server!

General upgrade method:

 

1] Extract new version to a folder e.g C:\newus

2] Run new server and set MySQL root password same as your old password setting

3] If you have created any MySQL users and passwords duplicate these on new server

 

4]From old server copy every thing in folder UniServer\www

To: C:\newus\UniServer\www

 

5] From old server copy all folders (except folders mysql and phpmyadmin) in UniServer\usr\local\mysql\data

To folder C:\newus\UniServer\usr\local\mysql\data

 

Test new server.

 

All the best

Thanks, it looks easy enough I will give it a try.

 

Since you guys update so frequently is their any update installer planned for the future to automate updates, maybe this can be a separate project?

 

I dont know anything about programing or I would be working on something already cant see it being that complicated?

 

Thanks again keep up the good work everybody!
