To upgrade Kooboo CMS requires two steps: 1. Upgrade database 2. Upgrade design/content files.
We recommend using the old version of database (in order to keep your existing data) and new version of code files.
Upgrade Database
On every Kooboo download, you should find the following file structure.
The "sql" folder contains all the needed SQL upgrade scripts and one big SQL file for clean installation of a complete database. To upgrade your database, you need to execute those upgrade scripts.
Upgrade Content and Designs.
Copy all the works you have done into new Kooboo instance. These folders are shown above.
ContentFiles: Folder for your content attachment files and Lucene.NET search index.
Module: Folders for Kooboo modules
SitePackage: Site package you have downloaded or generated.
Template: Your layout templates and content templates.
Copy those folders into new Kooboo instance. Then you have finished the upgrade.
