Updating superMicro CMS
Updating superMicro CMS is simple. Follow these instructions:
Backup before updating
Backup existing pages, comments and images before updating. If your server supports ZIP archiving, admin backup provides a utility to ZIP the files for download to your hard drive. Otherwise they can be backed up by downloading them via FTP.
(1) Download
Unzip the ZIP file supermicrocms.zip to your hard drive.
(2) Logout
If you haven't already, logout of admin.
(3) Upload
Upload all the folders and files inside the /admin/ folder.
Upload all the folders and files inside the /inc/ folder.
Upload all the files inside the /css/ folder, the /css-unminified/ folder, the /diagnostics/ folder, the /extras/ folder, the /fonts/ folder, the /img/ folder, the /js/ folder, the /uploads/ folder and the /video/ folder.
Upload all the files located directly in the cms root folder.
Important: do not upload the folders themselves because they contain other files already there on the website: the settings, menu, stylesheets, passwords etc, plus pages and images created so far.
If you have edited any of the inc/languages/ files or any of extra-body.php, extra-content.php, extra-head.php, tracking.php, or any other system file in the original download ZIP, don't upload the new ones. Otherwise upload every new file.
(4) Re-install and setup
Upload all the files. Navigate to https://www.yourwebsite.com/admin/install.php and follow the same process as the original installation. You don't need to change the password (unless you want to) and won't lose any content, but backup first anyway.
Note: if you are updating the previous system (la.plume Micro CMS) you will also need to make a few other changes. For more information get in touch.
