This release does have the following requirements: -One of these databases: MySQL 4.1 or higher, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or higher, Postgres 8.1 or higher -PHP 5.x or higher with mbstring library installed. (for localizations) Check out detailed requirements at http://docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=Installation HOW TO INSTALL --------------- If you are doing a complete new installation please refer to the manual at http://docs.limesurvey.org Please also have a look at the "Installation security hints" section of the online manual in order to secure your installation. === UPGRADING===== We suggest to check out and hold close to the instructions, which can be found in our online manual: http://docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=Upgrading+from+a+previous+version HOW TO UPGRADE from earlier versions of LimeSurvey (<=1.08) ------------------------------------------------------------- We are sorry but you can't upgrade from versions <= 1.0.8. Seriously! The database structure has changed that much it wouldn't be feasible. However, you can import old survey structures from version 1.0 (when you create a new survey there is an option to do that). Just do a new installation as described on http://docs.limesurvey.org. HOW TO UPGRADE from LimeSurvey 1.45 or later (<=1.70) ------------------------------------------------------ 1. Make backups of your files and database. 2. Backup your config.php. 3. Delete all old files 4. Upload the new version to the same place. 5. Adjust the settings in config.php to the setting from the backup config.php. --Do NOT just copy over the old config.php over the new one.-- 6. Run the installer in /admin/install/index.php to update the database. 7. Done. Special note for UPGRADING from 1.53 to 1.72(+) ------------------------------------------------ After you upgraded please check the global user rights of each user. There was a new superadmin right introduced. The upgrade script is guessing who to make superadmin - so this is not perfect and has to be supervised by YOU. HOW TO UPGRADE from a LimeSurvey 1.70(+) version to the latest 1.9x -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Make backups of your files (especially config.php and config-ldap.php) and database. 2. Export all your customized templates. 3. Backup your limesurvey/upload resources directory. 4. Delete all old files. 5. Upload the new version to the same place. 6. Copy your backuped config.php file overwriting the one from the new release 7. Have a look to the config-defaults.php file for any new parameters that could suit your setup. If you need to change the default setting, copy the parameter lines to your config.php file and adjust their values accordingly. 8. Copy your previously backuped 'upload' directory to the new limesurvey/upload directory. 9. Run the installer in /admin/install/index.php to update the database. 10. Copy back all your customized templates to /upload/templates. You might have to adjust your templates since the CSS has been changed since version 1.72x. It is easier to try adapting one of the default templates to your template again instead of fixing your old template! 11. Done. Thank you to everyone who helped with this new release!
