Topic: AjaXplorer Upgrade Issues

[newburns]

I currently have SME 8.0 and Ajaxplorer 4.2.3

I do not see the standard menu as submitted by the creater of Ajaxplorer, therefore, I am assuming SME has made some further adjustments.
I am trying to upgrade to the latest Ajaxplorer 5, but it is not straightforward like other web applications. It has some db configurations set up and it also has different folders in /etc/ -- /usr/share -- /var/lib/  (So it is not ideal to download and replace the core files.
Any help or ideas?

Have not updated because I was told "Anxious debugging and troubleshooting cause more issues for those trying to help you".
Will be waiting for some solutions or assistance

Please do not try to manually upgrade like this. You'll get a lot of problem. You should never override files provided by a rpm. If you really want to use the latest version, you should make a manual install from source, using custom templates. I'm actually working on the v5 packaging, but I still have a few issues to fix.

I'm not a developer ... YET ... so I won't be compiling anything. I haven't upgraded that way, I was just thinking out loud because another forum said that helps when troubleshooting. Any information you need from me, I am willing and ready to give it up.

AjaXplorer has been updated to version 5.
I used the standard installation through the Wiki on a new SME 8 installation. Works like a charm so far. May be an issue within AjaXplorer where it allows for password changes, will test later to see if it breaks
