MikeDVB Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Security WarningThe install folder needs to be deleted for security reasons before using WHMCS http://wiki.whmcs.com/Version_4.0_Release_Notes#Upgrade_Steps To upgrade your WHMCS System, simply follow the instructions below. 1. Begin by taking a backup of your database through a tool such as phpMyAdmin 2. Unzip the contents of the zip file download to a folder on your computer 3. Remove the images/logo.jpg file to avoid overwriting your customised logo 4. Upload the files to your existing installation folder overwriting any existing files 5. Visit the admin area to access the upgrade script 6. Accept the license agreement 7. Confirm you have backed up your database and click the upgrade button 8. Once the script finishes loading, delete the install folder 9. Before the upgrade is completed, you must update your custom template with any new or changed template files Make sure to follow these steps and then post back any issues that you have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorro67 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Having a spot of trouble with a 4.02-4.11 install. Perhaps some-one can spot what I'm doing wrong Have followed all the steps as per below. Begin by taking a backup of your database through a tool such as phpMyAdmin Unzip the contents of the zip file download to a folder on your computer Remove the images/logo.jpg file to avoid overwriting your customised logo Upload the files to your existing installation folder overwriting any existing files Visit the admin area to access the upgrade script Accept the license agreement Confirm you have backed up your database and click the upgrade button Once the script finishes loading, delete the install folder Before the upgrade is completed, you must update your custom template with any new or changed template files Have also completed step 9 Problem is, get to step 5, and get the following warning Security Warning The install folder needs to be deleted for security reasons before using WHMCS So I does that, and logs in to admin again, but a) the upograde script hasn't run and b) (obviously) to option to select the licence and run the script don't appear. the licence version still says 4.02 What am I missing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro67 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Rechecked my steps. it helps if you run the install file from the root directory, not the admin directory doh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
