    How to upgrade via command line

    This tip is for 4.1.0+.

    With vBulletin 4.1.0, the installer / upgrader was redesigned to be 100% AJAX and you can use the command line to do the job. Here I post how to use the upgrader with command line (the installer don't support it actually).

    First step:

    Connect to your server with your SSH client (PuTTy for Windows users, Terminal for OSX users, etc.).

    Second step:

    When you are connected and logged in, go to the directory of your ./install/ directory. Only you knows what your path to your forums is. Use this syntax:

    Code:
    cd /xxx/install
    'xxx' is your path from root of your server.

    Third step:

    Once you are in the install directory, use this command to start the upgrade:

    Code:
    php -f upgrade.php
