-# Security
+## Upgrade
+
+### General procedure for all versions
+
+1. Backup your Jirafeau installation!
+2. Block access to Jirafeau
+3. Checkout the new version with Git using the [tagged release](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/tags)
+   * If you have installed Jirafeau just by uploading files on your server, you can download the desired version, overwrite/remove all files and chown/chmod files if needed. Keep a backup of your local configuration file tough.
+4. With you browser, go to your Jirafeau root page
+5. Follow the installation wizard, it should propose you the same data folder or even update automatically
+7. Check your ```/lib/config.local.php``` and compare it with the ```/lib/config.original.php``` to see if new configuration items are available
+
+### From version 1.0 to 1.1
+
+1. The download URL changed
+   * Add a rewrite rule in your web server configuration to rename ```file.php``` to ```f.php``` to make older, still existing links work again
+1. The default skin changed
+   * Optionally change the skin in ```lib/config.local.php``` to »courgette«
+
+### From version 1.2.0 to 2.0.0
+
+1. The "Terms of Service" text file changed
+   * To reuse previous changes to the ToS, move the old ```/tos_text.php``` file to ```/lib/tos.local.txt``` and remove all HTML und PHP Tags, leaving a regular text file
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+If you have some troubles, consider the following cases
+
+- Check your ```/lib/config.local.php``` file and compare it with ```/lib/config.original.php```, the configuration syntax or a parameter may have changed
+- Check owner & permissions of your files

-# Few notes about server side encryption
+## Server side encryption

 
 Data encryption can be activated in options. This feature makes the server encrypt data and send the decryt key to the user (inside download URL).
 The decrypt key is not stored on the server so if you loose an url, you won't be able to retrieve file content.
