Upgrades

Before commencing any upgrade, make sure you have a full backup of your existing system, including a schematic backup of your current database. In the event of something going wrong, you can always revert your database back and try again.

View the changelog to see what's new.

Please follow the instructions below carefully.

1 Back up your current database and file structure and stop any cron jobs that are running.

2 Move your existing responder file structure to an archive folder or download offline.

Example: http://www.example.com/responder/_archive/

3 Download the latest version of Maian Responder

https://www.maianresponder.com/download.html

4 Unzip and upload all the files to your server into the same location as your previous installation.

Example: http://www.example.com/responder/

5 From your archive/backup file set, upload the following to your new installation to replace existing data:

admin/backup/*
attachments/*
control/_cfg.php
content/language/email-templates/*.txt (only applicable if you did a language translation)
content/language/*.php (only applicable if you did a language translation)

For white label users ONLY, also replace the following from your backup set:

control/classes/mailer/class.mail.php
