Upgrading from v8 to v9

[Simcfc73]

Is there any instructions to achieve this successfully? is it just an overright of the exisiting files and copying the relevant config files back across?

Delete all but the app_data folder, and install the v9 base web release, then the latest upgrade. Run HAP+ and it should upgrade

It hates me.

Ah, the dreaded upgrade failed error. backup your hapConfig.xml, delete it. Use setup to create a new one, then copy parts of the old config over the new one (using notepad).

 

Sorry about this. I never did find out why the upgrade failed like that.

[Simcfc73]

Don't apologize, your doing us all a favour with this project.

 

Will have another go tommorow, I tried copying stuff from one XML to the other and it didn't like any of the line... then it didn't show any icons so I think I will just manually use the GUI to recreate the links... won't take me long.
