Same as it's been for a long time now. Upload new app files over old ones. Log in. You're done.
Ideally, you back up your database first.

Thanks.
Just like a new install?
Are there any files I DON'T upload?

hi.
just a quick note to say it worked fine .. i.e. > "Congratulations! You have successfully upgraded to Movable Type 4.12."
but I *did* have to modify all 12 *.cgi files to include the absolute path .. as outlined here:
http://forums.sixapart.com/index.php?showtopic=66188I use Perl v5.8.8 on a VPS if that matters.

You could have got away with just editing bootstrap.pm

Thanks NiceMan.
I have bookmarked and will try next upgrade .. whenever that happens to be.
Editing one or two files is better than editing 11 or 12.
Altho my case seems that my server can *find* mt.cgi fine, but rather that it wants to DOWNLOAD the file instead of run/execute the script.
