Fortunately, upgrading to 0.3 should not be too hard. First off, replace your old copy of photo.pl by the new one. Then, delete all the *.inc and *.php3 files from your web directory (in the web server's document root), and copy all the new files in the web directory to the web server's directory, but *not* the pics subdirectory (that would erase your pictures)! Re-edit the config.inc file: new configuration options have been added. Finally, you need to update the database schema. Simply type: mysql -p < upgrade-0.3.sql For example: mysql -p photo < upgrade-0.3.sql You should be all set! (For a new security tip, check the end of the INSTALL file.)
