The Orca Search is designed to make upgrading easy! Upgrade code is included which will silently upgrade any version 2.0 Final or later, to the version of the release you have just downloaded. NOTE: If you are currently using a release marked as "beta" or "release candidate" you will not be able to upgrade your search installation normally. The automatic upgrade included with each final release will NOT work properly on beta releases. To "upgrade" a beta release, I recommend installing final versions into a new directory and specifying a new MySQL table, then importing your previous settings manually. To upgrade your Orca Search, just follow these simple steps: i. Extract all the files from this package into a temporary directory on your computer. ii. If you have a config.ini.php file in your existing installation, skip to step vii, otherwise go on to step iii. ----- iii. From your *existing* installation on your webserver, download and open the "config.php" file in any text editor. iv. From the temporary directory, open the "config.ini.php" file so you have two text editor windows open. v. Paste the seven config variables from "config.php" into the new "config.ini.php", overwriting the ones that are already there. Save this file. From now on, the setup details will be contained in this new ini file which you won't have to overwrite. vi. Upload "config.ini.php" into the directory of your existing installation. ----- vii. Overwrite all files in your installation directory, except for "config.ini.php", with the corresponding files from the temporary directory (the new version files). NOTE: if you have made changes to your "control.css" and/or "body.xhtml.css" stylesheets, you may want to keep your old copies and merge any new styles in as needed. viii. IMPORTANT: Open both your existing "config.ini.php" and the new copy from the zip package; new config lines may have been added or other changes may have been made. Manually copy these changes from new file to your existing file. NOTE: "config.ini.php" variables have changed in version 2.3 ix. On the next visit to the Control Panel or search interface with any web browser, the Orca Search will be automatically upgraded!
