*** Upgrade Instuctions from Phoenixcoin v0.6.4.12 and earlier (Windows) ***
If you upgrade from a 0.6.4.x version of Phoenixcoin, the first news you need to
know is the default location of directory with block chain and peer data bases,
your wallet and configuration file has changed. v0.6.4.x clients have stored all
this data in a "Phenixcoin" subdirectory located in a hidden system path:
(Windows 2000, XP, 2003) C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\
(Windows Vista, 7, 8 ) C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\
It was supposed to provide some protection against accidental wallet deletion by
an inexperienced user as many people didn't know where to find it. On the other
hand, it appeared to be a security breach as many wallet stealing trojans and
remote access scripts knew where to look for user data. It was advised to enable
wallet encryption usually, though there was also an option to move the whole
subdirectory elsewhere and report the full path to the client or daemon using
-datadir run time parameter which was rather inconvenient.
So, the default subdirectory is now called "data" and it's located in the same
directory where you keep the Qt GUI client and daemon, phoenixcoin-qt.exe and
phoenixcoind.exe. The whole distribution can be placed on a hard disk, USB flash
stick, network drive or wherever else. You can use the -datadir parameter still
if you need to.
Please move the contents of "Phenixcoin" subdirectory to the "data" subdirectory
BEFORE you start a v0.6.5.x client or daemon. If there is phenixcoin.conf, rename
it to phoenixcoin.conf and you're good to go.
