hey,

  Figured I’d post a set of upgrade instructions for this planned future release fro users whom will be upgrading from 3.0.1. Hopefully will also allow testers to test the upgrading from 3.0.1 with the daily 3.1.0 development builds. (the important difference from previous versions is that you do NOT have to mess with the gacl config file anymore)

1) Move current (3.0.1) /openemr directory to a backup directory
2) Unpackage 3.1.0 openemr into /openemr directory
3) Edit openemr/interface/globals.php (set $webserver_root and $web_root to be same as old version)
4) Copy following directories from 3.0.1 version to /openemr directory:
/openemr/documents
/openemr/edi
/openemr/era
openemr/custom/letter_templates
5) Record the openemr/library/sqlconf.php file variables from your version 3.0.1, and type these into the openemr/library/sqlconf.php file in version 3.1.0
6) Open openemr/sql_upgrade.php in web browser, choose 3.0.1 and click ‘Upgrade Database’
7) Open openemr/acl_upgrade.php in web browser
8) Configure optional settings in interface/globals.php and includes/config.php files

DONE

(Note that users of the debian 3.0.1 package will hopefully skip steps 1-7 during upgrade to 3.1.0.)

Please test away, and let me know if problems with instructions.
