Upgrading - Linux (CentOS, Debian etc)

Important Upgrade Notes This script is a BETA and it is recommended to backup your control panel before upgrading. The most important files are the ./database.php and ./content/ directory. Templates / Themes If you have used the MediaPanel directory for your theme, it will be backed up into a folder called "MediaPanel_original". Any other directories will be preserved with the upgrade script
