Skipping a version won't be a problem. You can safely go from 3.2.0 to 3.2.2, when it's released.

Wow, sounds helpful. Thanks for the info. Will directly move from 3.2.0 to 3.2.2, when it's released.

I think a separate pack for newbies without the images, store, files folders and config.php file would be a lot helpful so they dont get messed-up if incase a backup doesn't exist. There are enough problems with people not using the most appropriate package already without introducing any more. Yes...

You wrote: "4. Remove (delete) the config.php file, and the /images, /store and /files folders from the package (not your site)". Why don't you delete them yourself before publishing the package :?: Because that is the full package and you need them for a new install. I think a separate pack for ne...

phpBB 3.2.2 will fix this problem.

Hi, currently im in 3.2.0, will i be able to directly upgrade to 3.2.2 so i can use the auto update pack or should i first upgrade to 3.2.1 and only then to 3.2.2?

Thanks.

Hi, I just made a backup of everything - but I have a hoster, which makes 2 times a day backup of my whole webspace including the databases. Cheers Frank I just recovered the website using an update made by my hoster. Any idea when we can safely update the forum? The "Automatic Update Package" is s...

To revert the forum to the exact state before the update attempt, restore the backup of your files and database you made before updating. Hi, thanks so much for your assistance. I have restored the website using backup files and database. Since the "Automatic Update Package" is currently unavailabl...

Yes, my hosting has a backup and they assured to restore the backup of the site before the update. Hope all goes well and no dataloss ...

@KevC : Should i create a new folder, install a fresh 3.2.1 there and try to recover the database there (so all the files are brand new but database is old)? Will that work? Will i be able to perform an database update after this process? Thanks. You did that: https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/...

I"m always working with phpmyadmin, not with the restore function in the ACP, so you don't have to delete the tables I think? Ok, i should learn more and get better on both backup and updates on PHPBB. I would have been a lot less stressful had i backedup the entire forum instead of just the databa...

Sorry, I Thought that you replace the database with a backup.

Yes, i did replace. Please tell me how to delete old tables in the database. Thanks.

I don't know, might just be optimization but it's a heck of a lot! Give it a go and see what happens. You can always restore it afterwards. Hi, i did the same. Everything was fine and uploads went successful . Install too was successful, database too was showing fine but all threads were still miss...

Did you first delete the old tables in the database?

I did whats exactly given here - https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... ating-32x/ and it never suggested for any table deletion.
