phpLD Upgrade

I have heard that upgrading phpLD from the free version to the paid version 3 can be a bit hairy.

Just wondering from any other members if they have done this and is it even worth it.

I am working on a new design for my directory and if I am going to upgrade this would be a great time to do so.


Thanks.

 

Simple just overwrite the old files, and read the upgrade post on phpld forum

 

Yeah thats what I figured, but I had seen a few posts had huge problems.... Must have just been them.

 

i wrote a guide to this it can be downloaded here

 

the ones that have had problems are the ones that are too smart to read the guide

 

lol I gotcha


It should not be a problem though, I am very good with PHP and after making my own design for proxiesdirect I am okay with the smarty engine.

 

You could set it up in a subfolder, test drive it and then move it up when it's all good

 

Still I will recommend you to do a "Test Update" before doing it to your working site. In that way you will know what to change in case you got any issue.

 

Thats what I plan on doing, I have a gateway that I bought in 03' (wish I had built my own back then) that I use as a local test server. Once its all running smooth ill up it

 

I have done this and it is worth it, My directory mvzr.com received plenty of paid submissions once I transfered to paid phpld Its great and has more features.

 

anyone knows when phpld 4 version will be live?

 

heard it's easy as counting 1 2 3. just upload, then voila.!

 

Lets hope so
