I wouldn't recommend that procedure specially if you are on a Mac where overwriting means replacing (this means that using Finder you could lose changes like new applications,...). Besides, even in Windows/Linux/GNU, overwriting a directory won't remove obsolete files.
Here's my take on how you should do it: After extracting the new version of web2py just overwrite the applications subdirectory with the contents from the old web2py installation. Unzip web2py... cp -Rf old-web2py/applications/* newly-extracted-web2py/applications Francisco Gama On Feb 21, 3:04 pm, mdipierro <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Jason, > > to upgrade web2py just unzip a new one over an old one.
