Just upgraded from 1.4.19 to 1.4.25. When I run version comparison, anycontent.php is still old version. I have custom content in there so as I understand it, I need to NOT overwrite it (per other threads on the issue and the upgrading instructions). Do I have that right?
Now the other item is that the config.php file is still showing old version. Do I leave that as old version too or did I miss something in the upgrade?
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
All is ok, yu can safely keep those "old" files.
As you have a custom content in your anycontent.php it's normal that the version number differs from the cpg version number. Same with the config.inc.php. This file is created during the install process and contain the mysql connection data's.
- http://yoursite.tld/your_coppermine_folder/config.php needs to be deleted or replaced with the new version, as it's a leftover from ancient coppermine versions.
- http://yoursite.tld/your_coppermine_folder/include/config.inc.php needs to be preserved, as it contains the mysql access information. However, that file doesn't have any version information in it and is not being taken into account on the versioncheck screen.
So be carefull what you're talking about: there's one file in the coppermine root folder that is named
config.php and there is one file inside the sub-folder "include" that is named
config.inc.phpThose two files are entirely different animals. Treat them in the way we describe in the docs - we took care not to mix up the file names when writing the docs. You should not confuse them neither.
Thank you! Just want to let you know how much I appreciate the forum and your time.
