====== Interim Update from version 2 to version 3 ======

When updating from Admidio 2.x to version 3.x a few special features must be observed. In version 3 the complete structure of the layout has changed. Additionally the update script has been extended.

The location of **config.php** has changed. This will be deposited not in the main folder, but in the folder **adm_my_files**. If this folder has the necessary write permissions for Admidio, the **config.php** is automatically moved to the folder with the update. If the rights do not exist, then you must move the file via FTP to the folder **adm_my_files**.

Now you can delete the folders **adm_program** and **adm_themes** and replace them with the folders of version 3. The **index.php** in the main folder must also be replaced. Additionally all plugins need to be replaced in **adm_plugins** folder. If you previously haven't used any plugin, you should copy the folder **adm_plugins** to your installation, as our default theme used this.

As a final step you must now call the **index.php** in the main folder with your browser. This guides you to the update dialog. For security reasons you need to insert username and password of a webmaster. Now you can update the database to version 3.

You have successfully updated Admidio to version 3 and you can now [[en:2.0:update_to_version_4|]].
