PHP 4 support has currently been dropped, because
a) It's a pain in the ass to support
b) Nobody has told me they want it
If you want PHP 4 support, mail me, and I'll see if I can get it working for
version 2.2...
PHP 4 support has currently been dropped, because it's a pain in the ass to
support. If you are unfortunate enough to be stuck on a PHP4-only host, I'd
be glad to host your image board for you :3
Installation
@ -38,40 +35,13 @@ Installation
not, you should be given instructions on how to fix any errors~
Upgrade from 2.0.X
Upgrade from 2.1.X
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Should be automatic, just unzip and copy across config.php, images and thumbs
folders from the old version. This includes automatically messing with the
database -- back it up first!
Upgrade from 0.8.4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BIG NOTE: 0.8.4 is the only version the upgrader supports; please upgrade to
that before going any further! Feel free to try other versions, just don't
complain when it doesn't work :P
Upgrade process:
1) Make backups of everything. The most important things are your database
data, and your images folder. config.php and the thumbs folder are also
very helpful.
2) Check that your backups actually contain the important data, they aren't
just empty files with the right names...
3) Create a new, blank database, separate from the old one
4) Unzip shimmie2 into a different folder than shimmie1
5) Visit the URL of shimmie2
6) Fill in the old database location, the new database location, and the full
path to the old installation folder (the folder where the old "images" and
"thumbs" can be found)
7) Click "upgrade"
8) Wait a couple of minutes while data is copied from the old install into the
new one. You may wish to spend these minutes in prayer :P
9) Log in with an existing admin account and set things up to taste
The old installation can now be removed, but you may wish to keep it around
until you're sure everything in v2 is working properly~
