:arrow: Backup your current database, for safety;
:arrow: Run the SQL script called
mysql_rc4_to_rc5.sql, ir you're using MySQL, or
postgresql_rc4_to_rc5.sql ir you're using PostgreSQL,located in the root directory. This script will correct the tables.
:arrow: See
https://coderanch.com/t/574339 #permissions . We added some new permission control options, so
you should re-save your existing ones again. This was a mistake when releasing RC5.
You
must run these upgrade script, otherwise your jforum installation will not work correctly, since some tables have changed since RC4.
Depending the latest version you have ( for example, rc2, rc3 etc ), you may also want to take a look at
