When you upgrade to a new version of SkyBlueCanvas, you simply need to make a copy of this directory, install the new version following the instructions on the Installation page, then copy your data file back into /skyblue/data/.

Step-by-step

1. Make a copy of /skyblue/data/
2. Copy the new version of SkyBlueCanvas into your web root
3. Delete the new /skyblue/data/ directory
4. Move your copied /skyblue/data/ director back into the SkyBlueCanvas root
5. Make sure the file permissions for /skyblue/data/ are set to 755 or, if you have shell access, change the owner and group to the web process (chown -R www:www skyblue)

NOTE

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of SkyBlueCanvas, be sure to update the modules and plugins as well. To do this,
copy the contents of /new_skyblue_package/data/modules/ and /new_skyblue_package/data/plugins/ into /your_web_root/data/modules/ and /your_web_root/data/plugins/ respectively.

SEF URLs & the htaccess file

The htaccess rules have changed in version 1.1 so you will need to update the file named .htaccess in your SkyBlueCanvas installation.

You are now ready to start adding your site’s content. You can log into the SkyBlueCanvas admin control panel by going to http://www.yourdomain.com/admin.php.

Enjoy!
