Step 1: adjust config.php and delete the existing db_conect lines with this one: ---// add this to config.php if it isn't there already //---- $mysql = "mysqli"; // it's important that you don't touch this! if($mysql =="mysql"){ $db = mysql_connect ($host, $user, $password) or die ("I can't make a connection with the database"); mysql_select_db ($dbname, $db); } elseif ($mysql =="mysqli"){ $db = new mysqli($host, $user, $password, $dbname) or die("I can't make a connection with the database"); mysqli_select_db($db,$dbname); } else{ echo "unknown database"; } // You can also add the folowing lines: # Extra configuration options # Enable URL rewrite, set to false if you # don't want to use the URL rewrite function, or # if your webserver doesn't support apache URL rewrite function.... # # Note: Always disable this function if you're going to install horizon on IIS, unless # ISS supports URL rewrite.... $url_rewrite=true; #$url_rewrite=false; # Login configuration. # Set to false if you want to login with your username instead # of your email address. #$login_email = true; $login_email = false; ---// add this to config.php if it isn't there already //---- Step 2: upload all the files to your server. Step 3: go to your website and then type: upgrade/upgrade.php The script will now adjust all the mysql tables, and then you're up-to-date ;-) It won't affect your existing articles. |
