Upgrade from 5.4.2.2 to 5.5
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Dear,
I have a c5.4.2.2 site running since 3 weeks and today i read about the available update 5.5, though it states clearly that i need 5.4.2.2 to upgrade as minimal level, but the upgrade in the console tells me i am up to date. I downloaded the zip file, but do not know which part of the embedded files i need to upload to my hosting site. Or upload the whole zip?
Anybody has experience with this or has a procedure for me to follow?
Kind regards,
-Kees-

Dear OlliePhilips,
Opening the zip will show a lot of folders, amongst one of them is named concrete.
I have to copy this content into the root of my site?
The root of my site is : /subdomains/mysite/httpdocs/ in which a lot folders is present that are also in the zip archive. Amongst these folders there is also a concrete folder. One of the files in this folder is dispathcer.php.
Do I have to replace this folder?

Ollie and others: Thanks! it works fine, though the total speed of the site did not dramatically improve, but i'll keep puzzling during Xmas.

Replace the concrete folder at the path you state, with the concrete folder you extract from the zip archive.
Ollie,
just to be sure: Not to copy the content over the existing folder on the hosted site, but remove it first and than ftp the concrete folder from the archive to the hosting site?

Just like Ollie said, you just have to copy the 'concrete' folder and replace EVERYTHING on the original folder (no need to delete it first) and then, go to this address in your browser:http://www.yoursite.com/index.php/tools/required/upgrade... . Remember to REPLACE 'yoursite.com' with your website's address... Now follow the on-screen instructions and you're done.
Before upgrading, first check any addons you have installed are 5.5 compatible, or you could end up with missing functionality.
I always place my new versions in updates, this way I can roll back if something goes wrong
1.BACKUP YOUR DATABASE!, now that's out of the way
Is 1 complete
NO - Go to 1
YES - Go to 2
2.Upload to /updates/concrete5.5.0/
(I SSH to this directory upload a zip then unzip to save time)
3.Open you site.php
add define('DIRNAME_APP_UPDATED', 'concrete5.5.0');
to the end of the file
4.Then add the following to your domain URL and press enter /index.php/tools/upgrade?force=1

If you haven't upgraded before then that folder needs to be copied over the 'concrete' folder in the root of your website's path.
Then you need to visit this link which will complete the upgrade
http://www.yoursite.com/index.php/tools/required/upgrade...
As always, take your backups first.
