Read the installation instructions: http://www.icyphoenix.com/docs/readme_english.html#upgrade_phpbb If you are using phpBB2 and you want to install the latest stable release of Icy Phoenix 1.2.0.27c, you'll need to use the regular update_to_ip.php file in the /install folder. Read the installation intructions: [spoiler] 1. [b][color=#ff0019]Make a full backup of all files and database (if you don't do a backup, don't dare to ask for support! Backup Rules!)[/color][/b] 2. Did you backup everything? If you didn't make the backup, please, step back to the previous point. 3. Copy your current config.php and keep it in a safe place. 4.
