Upgrade Instructions

If you are upgrading from an older version, carefully follow the next steps:

1. Make a backup copy of the config.php file located in the calendar root on the server of your hosting provider.

2. If you have tailored the COLOR AND FONT DEFINITIONS in the style sheet file, make a backup of the css/css.php file and apply the changes to the new css/css.php file after successful installation.

3. If you have translated the language files, then back up your language files ui-{language}.php and ug-{language}.php and read the section Language Files hereafter.

4. Delete all LuxCal files and folders from the server, EXCEPT THE FILE config.php IN THE ROOT DIRECTORY.

5. Download and unzip the latest version of LuxCal (file: luxcalxxx.zip, where 'xxx' is the version number) and upload all files and folders to the calendar root on the server.

6. Start the calendar by pointing your browser to the calendar root on the server.

7. If the calendar is displayed successfully, delete the following files from the calendar root: install.php and upgrade23.php

8. The config.php file in the calendar root on the server has changed. Make a backup copy.

Note: If you are using a cron job to start the notify.php script and/or the sendchg.php script, then as of LuxCal 2.3 you only need one cron job to start the script lcalcron.php. Depending on the configuration settings, the lcalcron.php script will start notify.php, sendchg.php and userchk.php.
