	To upgrade from any previous 2.6 version

	Make a backup of the entire forum directory and have it readily available

	If you have any modified files at all, ensure you copy those mods to the new file first

	Select the following directories and files and copy to your forum directory

	Admin
	Help
	Languages
	Modules
	Quick-Guide_26
	Sources
	Templates
	yabbfiles

	AdminIndex.pl
	index.pl
	license.txt
	MANIFEST.txt
	README.txt
	Setup.pl < in case you need to run setup again but not likely
	UPGRADING.txt
	VERSION.txt

	DO NOT COPY OVER ANY OTHER FILE OR DIRECTORY

	Make sure the 3 .pl files are chmod 0755 (that's executable) and all files/folders are owned by apache for EL
	or www-data for Debian OS's with group owned by the same or your username

	You should be able to access your upgraded board and recheck all your admin settings

	If you get an error check the logs if it's not displayed on screen and fix whatever is broken
	if you can't fix it try running Setup.pl
	otherwise copy back the file with issues and compare the old and new to see what was different

	If you get to the point where you can't get it sorted, rename the forum folder you just upgraded (name.bak) and restore the original folder
