[h=2]Run the Upgrade Script[/h]
The first thing you will see from the upgrade script is a log-in prompt, asking you to log into your forum's admin area. This is done to prevent other users from accidentally stumbling across the upgrade script and running it without your knowledge.
When you have entered your forum user name and password, hit the "Login" button, and you will be taken to the landing page of the upgrade script.

The first page of the upgrade script will greet you, while the following steps will update your database to run the new version of VaultWiki. Click "Upgrade" to begin and the upgrade should proceed automatically.
If a prompt appears, fill in any additional information as needed. Otherwise, the automated process should continue unhindered until the upgrade is complete.
[template]Warning Box | Note | If your upgrade is not successful or seems to hang at any point, please contact VaultWiki support before making another attempt or trying to reinstall VaultWiki. Trying to install or upgrade from an incomplete VaultWiki upgrade could damage your database.[/template]
When the upgrade is complete, VaultWiki will be automatically re-enabled, you will be taken to VaultWiki's Admin Panel.
