Updating from phpBB 3.0.x/3.1x to phpBB 3.2.x or phpBB 3.3.x

Post by Solus

Updating from phpBB 3.0.x or 3.1.x to 3.2.x or 3.3.x is just the same as updating from stable releases of phpBB 3.3.x

However you can also start with a new set of phpBB 3.3.x files.

Delete all files EXCEPT for the following:
The fileconfig.php
The directoryimages/
The directoryfiles/
The directorystore/
(The directoryext/
Upload the contents of the 3.3.x Full Package (except for config.php) into your forum's directory. Make sure the root level .htaccess file is included in the upload.
Browse to /install/app.php/update
Read the notice Update database only and press Submit
Delete the directoryinstall/
