Before any changes: do a DB dump just to ensure you can revert changes, same goes for a copy of the files on the server
For FURLs:
rename ht.access in the root to ".htaccess", change "RewriteBase /" to your folder = "RewriteBase /maps"
Login > Tools > Configuration > Friendly URLs : Yes
Reset system settings:
Login > Tools > Configuration > File Browser > File Base Path - Press Reset
Login > Tools > Configuration > File Manager > File Manager Path - Press Reset
Save
If you intend using FURLs you will have to add the base href tag to your template(s) head tag
The default place for templates is: Login > Elements > Manage Elements > Templates
Example of a very basic template with base href:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>[(site_name)] | [*pagetitle*]</title>
<meta charset="[(modx_charset)]">
<base href="[(site_url)]">
</head>
<body>
[*content*]
</body>
</html>
You can also take a
look here for a bit more info ref: base href options.
You should be able to do an upgrade without problems - others have upgraded from 0.9.6x versions to 1.0.15 without problems - if problems arise, its more than likely to do with custom snippets / modules or plugins - the default packages should update OK.
