Upgrade phpbb howto

I ran into all sorts of problems trying to upgrade to the latest version, so i'm making my own customized instructions for myself.

Upgrading from these versions is generally quite easy. First you should make a copy of your existing config.php, keep it in a safe place! It's also smart to backup your entire phpbb folder, because of templates, and addon's, and etc. Next delete all the existing phpBB 2 files, do not leave any in place otherwise you may encounter errors later. You can leave alternative templates in-place but you should note they may not function correctly with the final release. It is therefore recommended you switch back to subSilver if you are currently using a different style. With this complete you can upload the new phpBB 2.0.0 files (see New Installations for details if necessary). Make sure to delete the contrib and docs folder. Once complete copy back your saved config.php, replacing the new one. You might have to make config.php writeable, not sure on this one.

You should now run install/update_to_latest.php which, depending on your previous version, will make a number of database changes. Delete the install directory, set full permissions for the avatar and smiley folders, change the config.php to read only, copy over any avatars and smilies, templates, or mods, and you're golden.
