How to upgrade from any previous version to the latest version
BACKUP your database (e.g. `mysqldump -u[user] -p[password] [database] > phplist-backup.sql`)
Copy your old configured files to some safe placeThese files are:
lists/config/config.php- possibly
lists/texts/english.incor any otherlanguage.incif you have edited it
Copy the files from the tar file to your webroot.You can copy everything in the lists directory in the tar file to your website. To facilitate future upgrades, ie to make it easier for you to simply copy everything I have now put the "configurable" files in their own directory. They reside in "lists/config". This is hopefully going to be the directory that you can keep between upgrades, and that will contain the only information that you want to be changed in order to make it work for your own site.
An example .htaccess exists file in this directory. You should not allow access to this directory from the webserver at all. The example will work with apache.
You can overwrite the files that are there. They are example files.
Go to `https://yourdomain/lists/admin/` and choose the 'Upgrade' link
This process may take quite a while if your database is large. Don't interrupt it.
In the directory phplists/lists/texts you will find existing translations of the public pages of phpList. You can use them in your config file to make the frontend of the system appear in the language of your choice.
In the config file there are a lot of choices to make about your particular installation. Make sure to read it carefully and step by step work your way through it. A lot of information is provided with each step.
