3.xx to 3.xx UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS

2.xx to 3.xx UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS

The Top Time Sheets Pro v.3 is based on same PHP core code as The Top Time Sheets 2. However, templates and almost all PHP files are completely different, so overwriting your current installation is not an option. Recommended upgrade procedure:
- backup your The Top Time Sheets database and files (it is better to do from your webhosting control panel). It is IMPORTANT;
- download and unpack The Top Time Sheets 3 ZIP file (available from members area [www.tmm.com] )
- rename your The Top Time Sheets installation folder on your site via FTP to something like "tmm-xxx1";
- copy The Top Time Sheets 3 files to "tmm" folder on your website via FTP;
- run [www.yoursite.com] ; if it requires you to make chmod, then chmod folders to 777. Don't continue with setup, all we need on this step is to verify folder permissions (chmod);
- get file "config.inc.php" from "tmm-xxx1" folder (old installation) and copy it to tmm/ folder (to new installation). This file contains database settings;
- run [www.yoursite.com] ; it will upgrade database structure to v.3 without losing your current The Top Time Sheets settings and database information;
- if upgrade db has finished without errors, then upgrade is finished. Go to The Top Time Sheets Cp and check new settings and abilities;
- if you are sure The Top Time Sheets 3 is working as it should (at least after 2-3 weeks) you may download "tmm-xxx1" folder from website and archive it for backup, then remove from the server.
