RikR Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Should an existing installation do a manual update by making the changes shown in the update file, instead of uploading the new files? It seems the manual method would be needed to avoid overwriting changes on e had made in the various files. If one's host is not running MySQL 5.0 should that update NOT be installed?

Yes, manually applying the changes assures you that no previous modifications are being overwritten. If one's host is not running MySQL 5.0 should that update NOT be installed? The MySQL 5.0 compatibility updates are also compatible with MySQL 3.x and 4.x. These changes are not needed for MySQL <5.0, they do however bring the installation closer to SQL standards. Manual update performed, all seems to be ok. That is great to hear! Thanks for providing feedback! , osCommerce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
