Failure to read these instructions could easily render your site inaccessible until you sort it out!

1. Change to the docs directory in your IMC site, and place the tarball you just downloaded there.
2. Unpack the tarball with tar -xvzpf dadaimc_upgrade_97_981.tar.gz.
3. If your UNIX account name for dadaIMC is "imcuser", you should find the directory "upgrade_98" already owned by the correct user.
   If not, use sudo chown -R [imcuser].[imcuser] upgrade_98and
   sudo chmod -R g+w upgrade_98to change the owner and permissions to match your UNIX account.
4. Move the upgrade.php script out of the upgrade_98directory, and into the root level of your site folder.
5. Access the page at <http://www.yourdomain.org/upgrade.php>.
6. When you submit the form, the script will:
   • update your dadaIMC database schema (rebuilding the media centers table, adding fields, help and documentation)
   • backup all of your .php and .inc files as filename.inc.dadasaved
   • replace many of the original dadaIMC files, with some additions. Class files will be deposited in an imc_classes folder, even if you've moved the original to an include folder. dadaIMC will use the local folder over an include folder, so you may leave this new imc_classes folder in position until you've converted all the dadaIMC sites on your machine.
7. Any modifications you have made to the files will be replaced (but backed up), so you may have to recreate the customizations.
8. After a successful upgrade, you can reload the upgrade.php script in your browser to get a link that allows you to delete all the backup files.
9. You may want to return the upgrade.php script back to the docs directory.
10. Now enjoy your publishability! Comments, problems, feedback to support(at)dadaimc.org.
