[TYPO3-debian] Problems installing Typo3 4.0.2

[Quentin Dewhurst]

Hi,

If as you say you want to 'upgrade' an older version what I usually do is 
copy the database (so you have a backup of the old one incase things go 
wrong) and copy the public_html directory of the website you want to upgrade 
into a new home directory, you then need to setup the symlinks so that it is 
pointing to the new version of typo3 (check the new dummy site package to 
see how this should be setup), you then run the install and do a 'compare' 
on the database (the new copy) typo3 then prompts to update the database to 
the latest reference it has...

This 'should' work - altho i have had a problem recently with version 
control not seeming to work on a website upgraded in this manner, but i 
might be missing something obvious there....

Cheers, Quentin.
