   5  == Installation ==
   6  
   7  * Extract the files to your site (in the web root, or choose a
   8    subdirectory). The top-level index.php should reside in this
   9    directory, as should the /textpattern/ and the /rpc/ directory.
  10  * Create, or establish the existence of, a working mysql database,
  11    load /textpattern/setup/ (or /subpath/textpattern/setup/ )
  12    in a browser, and follow the directions.
  13  
  14  == Upgrading ==
  15  
  16  * Simply replace the three files in your main installation directory
  17    (index.php, css.php and .htaccess), everything in your /rpc/ directory and
  18    everything in your /textpattern/ directory (except config.php)
  19    with the corresponding files in this distribution. css.php and /rpc/
  20    might not yet exist in your current site.
  21  * When you login to the admin-side, the relevant upgrade script is
  22    run automatically. Please take a look into diagnostics to find out
  23    whether there are any errors and whether the correct version number
  24    is displayed.
  25    NOTE: Upgrades from versions below 4.2.0 will present this warning
  26    upon your very first login to the admin-side:
  27      Warning: Unknown column 'user_name' in 'where clause' select name,
  28      val from txp_prefs where prefs_id=1 AND user_name='' in
  29      /path/to/your/site/textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php on line xx
  30    This is expected behaviour for the very first login after an upgrade.
  31    Every further move in the admin side must not throw any error message.
  32  * Verify all preference settings.
