Note
Your config.php will NOT be overwritten. The
software package contains only config.php.sample,
so there is no risk of affecting your settings during an upgrade.
There is a new config.php file with this version,
and along with it, a migration tool called
upgrade_config.php to easily install the new
config.php file, while still maintaining all of
your existing settings. The upgrade_config.php
feature was first introduced in Tungsten Dashboard version 1.0.11-1
This version now uses the config.json file for
configuration.
Important
To use the upgrade_config.php commaand, please
complete all the above upgrade steps first!
shell>cd $WEBROOTFor example: shell>cd /volumes/data/www/tungsten/html/shell>./upgrade_config.php `pwd`
Important
The upgrade_config.php tool should be RUN ONLY
ONCE!
