For Versions Older than activeCollab 2

If you are upgrading from a version prior to activeCollab 2, you should:

  1. Upload the contents of the /custom folder as well (here are two empty folders in it which should also be uploaded).
  2. If you used localized version of activeCollab, you should move existing translations from /activecollab/localization to /custom/localization folder.

3. Clear Cache

To clear the cache, please delete all cch_ files from the /cache folder and all %% files from /compile folder.

4. Run the Upgrade Script

Go to the /public/upgrade link in your setup (for example, if you have installed activeCollab on www.example.com/projects the upgrade script will be located at www.example.com/projects/public/upgrade) and follow the on-screen instructions. During this step, the activeCollab upgrade utility will upgrade your database to the latest version.

Please remember this step!
