Upgrade to Version 1.3.3 problem.

I started with 1.3.2, and I'm trying to upgrade to 1.3.3. I'm frustrated because
the UPGRADE document essentially tells me nothing. I have no idea how to upgrade
the software. I read the INSTALL document, and it says for upgrading, see
UPGRADE, which, as I've already mentioned, basically only talks about upgrading
from 1.2 or previous.

Perhaps this is so obvious I'm not seeing it?

1. Backup all your files and your database.
2. Extract the files over the previous files.
3. If you made changes to the previous files, merge your changes into
the new files.
4. Try it out and make sure it's running correctly.

Brion,

Thank you for the speedy response.
I did the four steps listed and received this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: _phptal_os_path_join() in
C:\Apache2\htdocs\wiki\Parser.php on line 24

Very strange.
Craig.

You seem to have somehow flattened the directory structure. That file
should be ...wiki\PHPTAL-NP-0.7.0\libs\PHPTAL\Parser.php, not to be
confused with ...wiki\includes\Parser.php.

Brion,

Ah! It was my mistake...I managed to somehow screw up what should have been a
simple copy/paste routine.

Everything is working just fine now. "PEBCAK" - Problem existed between chair
and keyboard! :P

Thanks again for your helpful and patient reply.

Craig Hartel.
