Just to be sure not to crash everything.

I've to buy a license for a customer where I've installed one of the first usable versions of X3, I think 0.11. The procedure is

Download latest version
Upload all the files but /config and /content
Run convert.php
Fix all the settings

Is this correct?

Almost ...

I would first DELETE all files except /content/ though, just to make sure old stuff is not left behind. Also, the "config" folder did not exist in earlier versions. You also need to add a few new folders to content.

1. Download latest version
2. Delete ALL files/folders except "content"
3. Upload all the files except "content"
4. Delete all folders /content/custom, content/services, content/sitemap, content/json
5. Upload new /content/custom/
6. Run convert.php
7. Fix all the settings

Sorry to troll this topic...

Migration works from almost everything, but it seems it loses all accounts / passwords after the convertion.

Is there any way to keep them ? That would be VERY nice !

With "accounts", do you mean passworded pages in X2?

You can't stop working ? Even the 1st of January !

No X3 protected pages, sorry for the confusion. I have an instance where I share private galeries (quite a few) and each of them have a unique user/password.

I'm moving from a .11 so I've tried that :

1. Download latest version
2. Delete ALL files/folders except "content"
3. Upload all the files except "content"
4. Delete all folders /content/custom, content/services, content/sitemap, content/json
5. Upload new /content/custom/
6. Run convert.php
7. Fix all the settings

But after, I've lost all protected accounts/passwords. Maybe there is a file to keep in order to do it ?

Yea no, it doesn't currently convert passworded folders. I will look into adding it in a few days ...

There is a separate file in X3 that manages passwords separately in JSON format. You can take a look at it in config/protect.php.

That worked ! Thanks a lot !
