- Unzip the phpfan320upgrade package into an empty directory.
- Delete all the files in the admin folder on your server and upload the new ones.
- Delete all the files in the includes folder on your server.
- Configure the conf.inc.php (which is located in the includes folder) file with the same values as old one. Be very careful about setting the old database tables the same as in the old conf.inc.php file.

conf.inc.php. - CHMOD the cache sub-directory 755 (if this doesn’t work, then 777).
- Delete the old phpfan.php file and upload the new one. You can configure it to work with skins, if you wish.
