NOTE: Currently, you can only upgrade from Beta 3.1 or 3.0 Final. If you are upgrading, follow these instructions:

Due to changes in many of the files, the easiest way to upgrade is:

1. Delete the following directories and everything in them:
----includes

2. Delete the following files:
----pafiledb.php
----toplist.php

3. Open the file includes/mysql.php in a text editor and change the settings to your correct database settings (You can use the same settings that you had in the old mysql.php)

4. Upload the following folders and everything in them:
----includes (with the copy of mysql.php with the correct settings)

5. Upload the following files:
----pafiledb.php
----toplist.php
----upgrade.php
----team.php
----lang/english.php

6. Run upgrade.php in your browser. Hopefully you won't get any errors. If you do, post the EXACT error messages you receive on the support forums (http://forums.phparena.net) and someone will offer further assistance. If everything goes OK, delete upgrade.php from your server.

7. Run admin.php and make sure you can log into your admin center and use it without problems. If you have problems, you will have to switch back to sessions instead of cookies. See the "Sessions or Cookies" section in manual.html for more information.

8. If everything is working without problems, then you're done! :)

NOTE: If you were using the toplist.php file, you will need to make a small change. Open it up in a text editor and look for this line:
	$path = "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/pafiledb";
You will need to change that path to whatever the path to your paFileDB directory is. You will need to either use phpinfo() or ask your host to obtain the path. Please note a path IS NOT a URL.
A path would be: /home/username/public_html (on a *NIX server)
A path would also be: C:\www\username\anyonewhousesawindowsserverismakingamistake (on a Windows server)
A path IS NOT: http://www.mysite.com/pafiledb (This is a URL)

YET ANOTHER NOTE: Old language files WILL NOT work with 3.1. To make it 3.1 compatible, you will need to translate everything after "//Start 3.1 Language File" in english.php
