[SOLVED] What is recommended update procedure?

What is recommended update procedure?

Do you install the new version over the top of your old version?

Or, do you start with a fresh version and copy existing pages to the new install?

[Carlos]

1. Upload index.php and admin folder overwriting existing files.
2. Log in or browse any admin page.

Well, that didn't work! - I get a "This page is temporarily unavailable" error.

I'm going from 3.3.3 to3.3.8

UPDATE: Got it working...

Logging in, or simply trying to go to the public page did not work.
However, what was not completely clear is attempting a admin page seems to get you to the backend. Once logged into the backend, it seems to work ok after that. So, I pointed my browser to <site url>/<admin dir>/backup.php then logged in.

Thanks for the help

FYI - the text is not red.

I suggest you update the font style to red + bold ...

Because I got the download off Github, there does not seem to be a warning - one is needed there too!

Github has a readme, which links to the wiki for upgrade instructions, which also has this info.
