1.0.0 to 1.1.0

Begin by uploading all files and folders from the upgrade package in BINARY mode. The files should be uploaded to the same location as your existing files. This means that many files will be overwritten with the new ones. It is extremely important that all the files are uploaded in BINARY mode. If you do not know how to upload files or would like specific instructions read the sections under Installing.  
 
After you have finished uploading all of the files you will need to set the permissions on certain files. Most servers support 777 permissions. If you server does, apply permissions of 777 to the files/folders listed below, otherwise set the permissions to 755. If you get an Internal Server Error when you upload the files with 777 permissions it means your server does not support them.  
 
The permissions need to be changed on the following files/folders:  
 
·templates/ (folder AND all the files within the folder)  
 
·templates/mail/ (folder AND all the files within the folder)  
 
·smartway/plug-ins/ (ALL directories AND subdirectories, including their files)  
 
·photos/ (directory only)  
 
·images/eye_catchers/ (directory only)  
 
·images/ad_themes/ (directory only)  
 
·images/hit_counters/ (directory only)  
 
·images/feedback_icons/ (directory only)  
 
After you have uploaded all the files and set their permission you can proceed with the upgrade.  
 
The Installation Wizard takes you through the process of upgrading your site. The purpose of the Installation Wizard is to eliminate any manual editing of configuration files or executing of MySQL queries.  
 
To begin the Installation Wizard go to http://www.yoursite.com/install.php. Replace yoursite.com with your actual site address.  
 
If the previous steps were followed properly and the permissions on all the files were set properly you should see a page with a form asking you to choose which products you want to install (shown below). If you did not set permissions on certain files an error will appear notifying you which files you need to set the permissions on. You must set the proper file permissions before continuing with the installation process.
