Upgrade Datalife Engine
Upgrade Datalife Engine is very simple and automate query by script upgrade engine. Before you upgrade the Datalife Engine, make sure that your servers have the System Requirements and settings because the upgrade process will not check your system requirements and settings, so if your servers don't meet the requirements and settings then your website will not run or function properly. Create a backup of the database and all files in the Datalife Engine script on the server, this is very important, always make full backup before you perform upgrade. Upload all files in the folder /upload/ from the archive file you have purchased (except for /templates/). Run the upgrade file from http://website.com/upgrade/index.php, and follow the instructions.

Note: before you upgrade the Datalife Engine, make sure that your servers have the System Requirements and settings because the upgrade process will not check your system requirements and settings, so if your servers don't meet the requirements and settings then your website will not run or function properly.
Note: upgrade files will overwrite your current script and code, if you have any modules installed in your old version, you must make sure that module is compatible with the new version of Datalife Engine, and all modules must be reinstall manually after you finished upgrade the script
- Create a backup of the database and all files in the Datalife Engine script on the server, this is very important, always make full backup before you perform upgrade
- Reset file CHMOD for htaccess, this to make sure all files are completely uploaded and overwritten, the following htaccess locations should be set chmod back to 644 before you upload the new version of script...
- /templates/.htaccess
- /uploads/.htaccess
- /uploads/files/.htaccess
- /engine/data/.htaccess
- /engine/cache/.htaccess
- /engine/cache/system/.htaccess
- Upload all files in the folder /upload/ from the archive file you have purchased (except for /templates/).
Attention: Files from the archive of the distribution, you must overwrite the existing files and folder but you must not removed the previous files and folder on the server because some of the files has been created when you first install, those files must remain on the server and remain "writable".
- Run the upgrade file from http://website.com/upgrade/index.php, and follow the instructions.
Note: The process required Administrator account to perform upgrade. So you must enter any Administrator user to start the upgrade process
- Set file chmod for the following htaccess to 444
- /templates/.htaccess
- /uploads/.htaccess
- /uploads/files/.htaccess
- /engine/data/.htaccess
- /engine/cache/.htaccess
- /engine/cache/system/.htaccess
- Login to Admin Control Panel, in the Control Panel main page, click "Clear SmartCache", and completely clean the browser cache and offline files
- Upgrade your existing templates files for new version compatibilities. For more information about upgrading themes, please visit our Upgrade Guide section for your specific version upgrade
- Check the settings of the script and adjust necessary settings in the administration Control Panel.
This is highly recommended because each version of Datalife Engine has some functions added into your database and settings after upgraded, it's necessary that you check those options for security reasons and spam protections
Attention: Upgrade script is only supported with versions 3.5 and higher, support for older versions was discontinued.
