vBulletin 2.2.2
vBulletin 2.2.2 is a very minor release of vBulletin, including a handful of bug fixes. Unless you are experiencing problems, there is no particular need to upgrade, although staying up to date is always a good idea!
Backing up forums
Please be sure to check your backups, that they are complete before continuing with an upgrade. We had reports that PHP was causing time out errors when creating the back up SQL, and this was causing for incomplete or corrupted backups. The safest way to do a backup is to use the mysqldump utility through telnet, as it will not suffer from any such problems.
New Installation Instructions
For fresh installations, you must run the install.php file in the admin directory. Before you do this, take the config.php.new file, edit it to contain your details, then upload it as config.php to the server.
Then you can run through the install.php script in much the same way as old install scripts. More detailed instructions are in the vBulletin online manual:
http://www.vbulletin.com/manual/
