Upgrade 6.1.4 to 6.1.5

Hello,

does anyone know of a tutorial that helps explain the upgrade process from 6.1.4  to 6.1.5? and do you think its worth it?

Very easy to install, installation steps below. Some nice fixes on 6.1.5 was worth it for me

Installation steps:

1) Back up Dolphin files and folders. They will be changed by the patch. This patch is compatible with any Dolphin package: !AdFree, Free and !SmartPro.

2) Extract the archive Dolphin-Patch-v.6.1.5.zip and upload its contents into your Dolphin installation folder overwriting the corresponding files and folders.

3) Now you need to set the following permissions (only if your PHP is not running in CGI mode):

in an FTP client
SITE CHMOD 666 ./ray/modules/board/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/chat/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/im/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/movie/xml/main.xml  ./ray/modules/mp3/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/music/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/presence/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/video/xml/main.xml  ./ray/modules/desktop/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/shoutbox/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/global/xml/main.xml

in SSH:
chmod -v 666 ./ray/modules/board/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/chat/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/im/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/movie/xml/main.xml  ./ray/modules/mp3/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/music/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/presence/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/video/xml/main.xml  ./ray/modules/desktop/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/shoutbox/xml/main.xml ./ray/modules/global/xml/main.xml

4) Navigate to this URL in your browser: Dolphin_URL/upgrade.php, where "Dolphin_URL" is your site's full URL, for example "http://my.community.com/Dolphin"

5) Now you have to edit the files "periodic/cmd.php" and "periodic/notifies.php" and replace the code "path_to" with the server path to your Dolphin installation folder. This path can be found in the file "inc/header.inc.php" as the value of the "dir['root']" variable.

6) Delete the '''sql''' folder and the '''upgrade.php''' file.

Now your Dolphin 6.1.5 patch should be successfully installed.

I successfully upgraded but the admin page still shows "Installed - 6.1.4, Latest - 6.1.5"

 

Is it a bug or did I do something wrong?

If this bothers you,  you have to change it in the header.inc.php file

where it says

$site['build']             = '4';

change the 4 to 5
