Backup all your Data ! All Files from your FTP and also your SQL Database ! Don't cry if something goes wrong and you have no Backup !

Unzip the phpBB2 plus zipfile to a directory on your local harddisk

Upload only the File update/update_phpbb206_to_plus13.php to your existing phpBB2 Directory on the webserver

Login to your Forum as Administrator

Now open the File you uploadet before in your browser (http://your.forums.com/phpBB2/update_ph ... plus13.php)

You should see that additional tables are created now (Added/Updated)

Download the file config.php from your existing phpBB2 Forum and put it in a secure place (You need it later !)

If you used the attachment mod before you should backup your /files directory now. Also backup the users avatar directory which is images/avatars to use them later again.

Did you already Backup your old Data ? If not, now it's the last chance to do it !

Delete all Files of your old forums now (If you have own templates, images or graphics backup them first)

Copy all Files from the phpBB2 directory of the phpBB2 plus 1.3 package to your Webserver (including directory structure)

Copy the file config.php that you backup'd before to your phpBB2 Dir on the Webserver (overwrite the one that exists)

Delete or rename the directory /install

Change Permissions (CHMOD) to 777 on the directorys /files and /images/avatars and album_mod/upload and album_mod/upload/cache

Upload the "old" avatars and maybe files directory to your new Forum
Use the new Forum
