Step Three : Files update

As we have crated a backup folder yourapp_backup in STEP ONE, go there and...

Copy and replace following files from yourapp_backup to your project directory where you have recently uploaded new files.

1. yourapp_backup/index.php 
   
   to
   
   yourproject/index.php
2. yourapp_backup/application/config/config.php 
   
   to
   
   yourproject/application/config/config.php
3. yourapp_backup/application/config/database.php 
   
   to
   
   yourproject/application/config/database.php
4. yourapp_backup/application/confg/lic.php 
   
   to
   
   yourproject/application/confg/lc.php
5. yourapp_backup/crm/index.php 
   
   to
   
   yourproject/crm/index.php
6. yourapp_backup/crm/application/config/config.php 
   
   to
   
   yourproject/crm/application/config/config.php
7. yourapp_backup/crm/application/config/database.php 
   
   to
   
   yourproject/crm/application/config/database.php

Copy and replace following files folder from yourapp_backup to your proejct directory where you have recently uploaded new files.

1. yourapp_backup/userfiles 
   
   to
   
   yourproject/userfiles

Step Four : Database update

You have to import upgrade_archive/update_build_X*.sql to you database. 

Here X* means your next build number - if your current build is 50 but avaiable build is 53 than select one-by-one
 

> upgrade_archive/update_build_51.sql
> upgrade_archive/update_build_52.sql
> upgrade_archive/update_build_53.sql

You can ignore 0KB size files or no file for a build - it indicated no database change in the particular build example update_build_51.sql.
