ELGG UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS 1. Download the new version of Elgg from elgg.org or a mirror. 2. Overwrite your existing Elgg files. Any modifications should have been written within plugins, so that they are not lost on overwriting. If this is not the case, take care to maintain your modifications, although Elgg is not guaranteed to work correctly in this instance. 3. Visit http://your-elgg-site-URL/upgrade.php 4. Copy htaccess_dist to .htaccess, replacing your existing version. 5. If you haven't already done so, install your crontab (UNIX ONLY) Cron is a UNIX command which allows programs to be run at set times of the day. If you want to take advantage of some of the maintenance functions such as log rotation or garbage collection, you must install a cron tab to trigger these events. We have provided an example crontab as /crontab.example. Edit this with a text editor to provide the details of your site, rename it to another filename (eg 'crontab.mine') and install it with the following command: crontab crontab.mine Substitute your filename for 'crontab.mine'.
