New Installations

If you're installing Invision Power Board for the first time, then you simply need to follow the directions in our installation guide to get your board installated and configured.

Updating your IPB

If you're updating your IPB, then please do the following:
  • UPGRADING FROM IPB 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3(.1)? READ ME INSTEAD!
  • Read the changed files section and update the specified files.
  • Make sure your "upgrade" folder is up to date by uploading any "upg_*" folders from the zip that are missing in your installation. For example, if you had the folders "upg_20001" and "upg_20002" and the zip had those folders plus: "upg_20003" and "upg_20004" - upload "upg_20003" and "upg_20004" from the zip archive to your "upgrade" folder in your IPB installation.
  • Run the upgrade system by accessing "upgrade/index.php" on your system (for example: www.domain.com/forum/upgrade/index.php) this will determine which upgrade modules need to be run and will rebuild your templates for you.
