Cowtacular Upgrade Instructions
===============================

-------------------------------------
Upgrading from version 0.44 or later:
-------------------------------------
Step1 - Backup your cow-config.php file and the contents of your
	datalocation that is set in your cow-config.php file. 

Step2 - Delete the contents of your Cowtacular installation.  
	
	# rm -rf /var/www/cowtacular/*

Step3 - Extract the latest version of Cowtacular into the location
	where the old one was installed.

	# cd /var/www/cowtacular
	# tar -vxzf /home/username/cowtacular-#.##.tar.gz

Step4 - Restore your original cow-config.php file or edit the new
	one to match your settings.

Step5 - Restore your database files if you happen to have kept them in the 
	cowtacular installation	location.  (Probably not a good place to
	keep them)

Step5 - Run the database upgrade script in the scripts directory.

	# cd /var/www/cowtacular
	# php -f scripts/upgradedatabase.php


--------------------------------------
Upgrading from a version prior to 0.44
--------------------------------------
Cowtacular 0.44 has dropped support for MySQL and Oracle.  It has become too
difficult to maintain multiple database connectors.  And SQLite was the way
I wanted to go with this application.  If you this does not work for you,
unfortunatley you'll need to find a different application to use for your
needs.

If you want to migrate, please contact the developer.  It's a tricky process
that requires migrating your data into SQLite version 2 and then running a
funky upgrade script.
