Hello there brothers and sisters,

@weblord here for a free tutorial on how to upgrade from the old version that you have to the latest version of yourls.org opensource url shortener.

First of all, I noticed that I have to upgrade mine to the latest:

So here's the steps, once again I do this in real-time while writing this tutorial

1. Back up the database used in this program, just click on Backup icon alongside or same row of the database in question.

2. Download latest program from official download site only

http://yourls.org/download

Unzip it and then zip again only the folders that you're trying to upload. This way is faster if combined by uploading to file manager and not via ftp account.

3. Backup your directory the place where your program or old files are in right now.

I use 7-zip for the backup of files by compressing it first .zip makes it appear smaller so file manager is tricked it's downloading/uploading 1 file and smaller so that makes it faster.

4. Now over write the whole directory with the new files that you've zipped/compressed and take note where config.php is located at and it's at /user/config.php

5. Overwrite the new config.php under /user/config.php with the old config.php

I will not be able to show you my config.php for obvious security reasons. Well I was surprised because the new program didn't over written the old config.php, so better be safe backuping than not.

So that's about it, see you on my next tutorials.

Upgrading to the latest version of Yourls is a pretty straightforward process. First, you'll need to download the latest version of the code from GitHub. Next, you'll need to unzip the file and upload the new files to your server, overwriting the existing files.

Make sure everything is functioning as it should by testing your YOURLS installation after the upgrade is finished. Make sure all of your installed plugins and customizations are still operating properly, and make sure you can create and access short URLs.
