I'll start by saying "I'm new to this" having taken over a forum which has been somewhat neglected for a while - which will explain a few things I guess.
My host recently upgraded PHP to 5.6 to solve a few previous problems, which it did , but created more, such as images not displaying correctly in posts and tables not viewing correctly when editing.
Anyhow, the upshot is that I'm on 4.2.2 and probably need to get to 4.2.5 which hopefully will resolve some of the problems encountered.
I downloaded the upgrade from members area.
Prior to doing anything else I thought I'd just check I could get to the upgrade from Admin Control Panel by clicking on "Run Upgrade Script" which resolved to "Error 404 Page not found"
Noted that the URL that the Run upgrade script runs from is forum/install/upgrade.php so checked that this exits in my stucture - no install folder. I'm assuming this means I have to copy the install folder into that path from the upgrade srcript, but not sure.
Searched the forum here for how to do an upgrade, but can only find a very old post which deals with upgrading from 3 to 4, I'm assuming its not as serious an upgrade as that?
I'm probaby heading for 5 eventually but this is a good start perhaps.
Any help anywhere that I can use to do my first upgrade?
