What is the best procedure for doing an upgrade?

The option exists because it’s possible somebody might want to do that. It is not selected by default.

Edit :

Jason, I looked a 3 different installations of MODx and didn’t find site_sessionname in the modx_system_settings...

David, first, you’re only looking at the first page of results from that table; check the other pages; and second, the name of the system setting is actually site_id

Ooops now I look dumb

Thanks !

I have installed MODx 0.9.2 on my local pc, and I want now to update my homepage. Do I have to just overwrite all files and database than go throught the update script? Is that enough?

Thank you!
Boby

Backup at least your database first! Then make sure you’ve backed up at least your database!!! (it doesn’t hurt to backup your /manager/includes/config.inc.php file, and any templates and images you have in the /assets folder, although they shouldn’t be touched).

Upload the new files. Run the Install script; make sure you clear the buttons for installing/upgrading the snippets and plugins when that page comes up. That should be all you need to do.

So far I’ve upgraded three sites without a hiccup, although I did need to change a few permissions.

Make sure to change the config.inc.php file’s permissions back to read-only when you’re finished.
