Updating

Read carefully following instructions before you update your selfoss installation:

1. Backup your database and your data/ directory
2. IMPORTANT: do not delete the data/ directory. Delete all old files and folders excluding the directory data/.
3. Upload all new files and folders excluding the data/ directory (IMPORTANT: also upload the hidden .htaccess files).
4. If upgrading from 1.3 or earlier, rename your directory /data/icons into /data/favicons
5. If upgrading from 2.17 or earlier, delete the files /public/all-v.css and /public/all-v.js. Additionally, when using Lighttpd, please check the wiki.
6. Clean your browser cache.
