<ol>
<li>backup your old BEdita installation</li>
<li>remove the old version of BEdita and extract the new version in the same folder</li>
<li>restore from your BEdita backup <code>bedita-app/config/database.php</code></li>
<li>copy <code>bedita-app/config/core.php.sample</code> to <code>bedita-app/config/core.php</code></li>
<li>copy <code>bedita-app/config/bedita.cfg.php.sample</code> to <code>bedita-app/config/bedita.cfg.php</code> and restore config vars <strong>beditaUrl</strong>, <strong>mediaUrl</strong>, <strong>mediaRoot</strong> from bedita.sys.php and any other configurations you did in old bedita.cfg.php. You can edit some of these configurations through the Admin module.</li>
<li>make sure that <code>bedita-app/tmp</code> (and subfolders) and <strong>mediaRoot</strong> are writable by web server</li>
<li>check if these two files exist:<br />
<ul>
<li><code>bedita-app/config/sql/upgrade/0.3.1-to-3.2-data.sql</code></li>
<li><code>bedita-app/config/sql/upgrade/1.3.1-to3.2-schema.sql</code></li>
</ul>
and execute the queries of first file and then of second file. If some of these files are missing don't worry, it means that no relative queries for data and/or schema needs.</li>
<li>restore your frontends in <code>frontends</code> folder and follow the <a href="/migrating-from-bedita-3-2-from-3-1">migration guide</a> to make your frontends compatible with BEdita 3.2</li>
