Upgrading

Always do a database and file backup before upgrading.

Most older plugins will still work on PHPDevShell v3, however we have provided a backwards compatible theme for your old plugins called oldlegacy2, so make sure your old plugin files are switched to this theme if they are not using a custom theme.

Be careful! the first file (PHPDS-defaults.config.php) is part of the distribution and therefore will be overwritten on each update. You should not modify this file, as your changes will be lost. For a simple single site setup use the single-site.config.php.RENAME (remove .RENAME) file instead, or the site-specific config files (see below). single-site.config.php will always load when available.
Override default settings by copying settings from PHPDS-defaults.config.php to your own custom config file.

1. Extract and upload downloaded PHPDevShell package to your PHPDevShell install directory overwriting old content.
2. Rename /config/single-site.config.php.RENAME to /config/single-site.config.php and change the settings.
3. Execute /other/service/service.php from your installed PHPDEvShell directory.
4. Complete the instructions in your browser.

*If you have PHP notices turned on, you might see a notice until you ran the upgrade, ignore these notices.
