[3.3.x] Support Forum • Re: Updating 3.3.0 to 3.3.14

I am looking to update my board from 3.3.0 to 3.3.14 using the Automatic Update Package because honestly I do not recall if I have made changes to core phpBB files.

That's quite easy to check: Use a file/directory compare program and compare you're fileset to a clean fileset of phpBB same version nr.

Anyway, the instructions state to upload the /install and /vendor directories from the package to begin but these folders exist and have files in them and I am getting conflicting information (I think) on what to do.

I read that you should not delete the contents of the /vendor folder as that will crash your board. Is that correct and if so do I overwrite what is in that folder? Or do I clear both the /install and /vendor folders and upload the package contents?

As to the "Automatic Update Package" ... it's actually Advanced Update Package specifically because it requires a couple of actions that are not part of the "general" update procedure.

Do yourself a favour and check first if you fileset was changed in anyway. If not: just use the full update or the changed files update package.
