    ⬆️ UPGRADE from version 3.0.0

    👀 Make sure you have enabled in PHP MCrypt support (see FAQ for more details).
    ⬆️ If you have saved email or sms message passwords, please after the upgrade of the code to 3.0.1 reenter and save the passwords to make sure they are encrypted in MySQL. In any case as they are they will be of no use.
    No database change is required, so there is no migration script to run.
    ⬆️ If you are upgrading from previous to 3.0.0 versions please read 3.0.0 database upgrade instructions.

    ⬆️ WARNING: Always a good idea to do a backup previous to an upgrade. This is not an exception.

    • Backup your database.
    • 🌐 Backup your ospos files (normally at web server place)
    • Backup your ospos/application/config/database.php and ospos/application/config/config.php files
    • ✂ Remove all your ospos files (do not remove nor modify database data!!!)
    • Extract the files for version 3.0.0
    • 🚚 Move the files to your web server place
    • ⬆️ Run the database upgrade scripts
    • Copy application/config/database.php.tmpl to application/config/database.php
    • ⏪ Restore the content of your ospos/application/config/database.php and ospos/application/config/config.php files in the new files
    • 🚚 Move the content of old uploads dir to public/uploads
    • 👉 Make sure your webroot points to public/ directory as index.php is now contained there
