Upgrade scripts through Fantastico

Fantastico helps you install numerous excellent additions to your website, and for many of the scripts it installs, upgrades are released on a regular basis. Not only do these updates add new features, they patch security holes and fix bugs, making them an essential process to carry out.

Luckily, Fantastico makes this possible with only a few clicks of the mouse. This tutorial will guide you through this process.

Firstly, login to cPanel by going to yourdomain.com/cpanel. Now scroll down until you see the Fantastico De Luxe link. Click on it to access the Fantastico control panel.

On the main page you will see a list of scripts which have upgrades available. Click on the Upgrade link next to the script you want to upgrade to proceed.

You will now be presented with the Upgrade page.

Read the notices carefully; if your script has been modified in a certain way, Fantastico might not be able to upgrade it. Make sure that you understand the notices and if you are sure that they don't apply to you, click Upgrade. If all goes well, you will be presented with a page similar to this:

Keep in mind that the page might vary depending on the script you are upgrading. Now that the Upgrade is complete, check that your data has been transferred correctly by having a look at your website. Also, note down the instructions for restoring your old installation; if something goes wrong it is fairly easy to restore it.
