Hi all,
I'm working on a ezpublish development on a windows system, following a former article by Sandro Groganz (XAMPP).
Perhaps a silly question, but I don't know how to perform the system upgrade scripts when upgrading from 3.8.3 to 3.8.4.
The documentation http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/upgrading/upgrading_to_3_8/from_3_8_x_to_3_8_y only refers to "correctxmltextclasses.php", however the 3.8.4 distribution offers several scripts (update/common/scripts).
So what do I have to do?

Similar question: Following the upgrade documentation mentioned above, how can I can clear the cache on a windows system without a linux command line?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Ulrich

This page here
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/upgrading/the_system_upgrade_scripts
givs you an overview what each script is doing and when they are needed. If you update from 3.8.3 to 3.8.4 you should not need any script at all as the correctxmltextclasses.php is necessary for updating to 3.8.1. So the changes should already be included in 3.8.3.

With regards to the cache:
As far as I know you can delete everything in the folders /var/cache and var/<site_access>/cache. To be on the safe side you should of course make an backup but I usually delete these folders manually if I move an installation from one server to another and had no problems yet.
