How to Update from Jforum from 2.16 to 2.17

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi,
I am a new JForum users. I finished to setup JForum 2.16 for couple weeks ago, but it displayed upgrade message in my admin console for last week. I have couple questions about upgading JForum 2.16 to 2.17. I backup JForum 2.16 folders. I read the document but I still don't know how to upgrade it. Please give me more instructions for upgrading JForum from 2.16 to 2.17. My existing database is HSLQDB. How do I backup the database and implement it to the 2.17?

Thanks,

The HSQLDB files are located at WEB-INF/config/database/hsqldb

You can use the Swing Database manager that comes with hsqldb to open the query analyzer, and run the update script queries. Just make sure to do that with Tomcat down.
