Codezwiz >> Forums >> General PHP Nuke Help >> Reinstall or update?

I was new to php last fall...I have 2 sites on 6.9 and really experimented on them...I don't really have a large understanding of php yet (was at school for the past 7 months).
so because of my lack of understanding php. and the fact that i had hacked like crazy [most being a failure] and have been unable toremove most of the junk coding...
would it be best to upgrade and use the added bandwidth, or t reinstall completely fresh?

Thanks,
Sabastina

are there any errors coming up on any of the sites? if you have forums, are there members in any of these sites? if the answer is yes, then I would do an upgrade. if the answer is no, then a fresh install is always faster and easier to work with

There are alot of errors that come up on both... if I did a upgrade, would all the mods and stuff there go away as well? I want to have mostly those from here...I installed several that were for earlier versions and have no clue how to remove them now...(been about 6 months since computer went down and I lost ALL my files

)...I have only about 15 members on one site and about 12 on the other...I could easily have them rejoin.

if you decide to upgrade, there is a manual upgrade for them. you can't overwrite the files as it will wipe them all out. you're better off doing a fresh install and yes having the members rejoin the new fresh site/sites

Thanks. fresh install it shall be...

ummm...how do I get the old one out of there? I didn't see anything in the files that came with the nuke...

Seriously appreciate this help.

depending on the system you have, your best bet is to go thru ftp, and manually deleting the whole nuke file.

as for the db, since I have no experience with any other db than what we use, I can't correctly tell you how to do it except to drop it in phpmyadmin, but I could be wrong, so don't quote me...lol

I'll ask the others to answer this post...sorry, I'm just not too comfortable with mysql to give you an answer

will do.

And no need to be sorry! you've helped me alot many times...besides this is what makes this site so great is u guys can say ummm...that's not my thing and not give out answers that mess things up... in other words-You guys care....
thanks.
