Ilija Studen:For all of you who want to upgrade, please follow this routine:
Upgrade procedure; program seems to be operating properly. Hosted on dreamhost, PHP 5.1.2.
Finally had a chance to download the updated 0.6 package. After dropping all the tables already in the DB from previous install attempts, this one went off without a hitch!
Now I just need to get the SMTP up and running. Threw an error when I created a new user, but I am pretty sure it is because I don't have SMTP running on my server yet.

did you noticed that aC is not using SMTP to send mails? it is using php mail();. there is a post about this issue here
But php.ini uses SMTP on windows AFAIK. On *nix I think it uses default MTA...
Why does the link on the home page still go to /alpha1/?
Upgrade went smoothly, but I hope the process is easier in the future -- took me almost 30 minutes! I like the way WordPress does their install/upgrade.

We wanted to make sure that 0.6 works fine on most of the installations so we are still testing it. People found 7 bugs with this realease in 2 days. I think that 0.6 will be available as "official" download today or tomorrow.
Upgrade process is not currently automated. Automated updates will be available after we get to 1.0.

Bit of an SQL novice here (although I did manage to install without too much of a hassle so I can't be that bad). I'm running on Mac OSX and using MySQL Administrator to backup my db. In (1) below, is this like selecting the 'Backup Selected Schema Completely' option? The execution mode I've set is 'Lock All Tables'.
If this is simpler to just run a MySQL command - let me know and I'll google around to find out what I need.
Oh, another question - what is the purpose of (5) below? Ah, is it because when you restore the stuff that the installer fills in won't be over written? You'd have dupes causing all kinda nonsense?
Thanks for an awesome product!

Ilija Studen:For all of you who want to upgrade, please follow this routine:
1. Backup old files and data from database. Make two backups of DB data: structure + data and only data. First you'll need if something goes wrong and you need to revert back to alpha. Second you'll need to import in step 6.
2. Drop all activeCollab tables from database. Remember to backup first!
3. Upload 0.6 and rewrite old files with new ones.
4. Run the installer, same thing as the first time.
5. Select all tables and empty them. There is option in PHPMyAdmin or run TRUNCATE on all tables.
6. Import data from DB backup. Just the data, installer created the structure.
7. It shoud work. Go back to login screen.
That should do the trick. If anything goes wrong restore old files and data in database and we'll see what can be done.

When you are exporting database as SQL you export two sets of information:
* database construction - have tables are constructed, relations between them etc
* data that is already in the tables
For backup you'll need both. For import when upgrading you don't need construction, just data. Construction is created by installer.
Correct!
