- make a copy of your database

- copy from your current install:
- storage
- test/logo
- user_privileges (overwrite any existing files)
- config.inc.php
- and any non standard modules that you may have:
- for example, PDFMaker would require that you copy:
- modules/PDFMaker
- Smarty/templates/PDFMaker
- if you have others, then you copy their directories
- edit config.inc.php
- change the database access to point to the database copy and $site_url and $root_directory accordingly
edit vtigerversion.php and change the version to 5.4- copy build/HelperScripts/installupdater.php to the root of your install and execute it:
http://your_server/your_install/installupdater.php
- now log in as admin to make sure you are working ok: you can log in and the initial home page appears
- go to coreBOS updater
- click on "Load Updates"
- click on "Apply All". Note that you may have to do this a few times to get all the changes applied as there are some dependencies. Also there will be some SQL errors because we have a set of changes that cover many different cases and your install is different for sure.
