The following three parts for everyone to explain:
(i) Pre-upgrade preparation

Note: Here you need to pay attention to download the same as your original forum version of the character set, such as you originally used the GBK version of the discuz!5.0, then please choose to download the GBK version of discuz!5.5.
2, upgrade to discuz!5.5 after the original style will not continue to use (template change a larger style), so before upgrading the style back to the default style, and in addition to the default style of other styles selected as not available, as shown in Figure 2;
3, the closure of the Forum, backup data (upgrade before you must do a good copy of the data) as shown in Figure 3:
4. Database backup
Standalone host: Direct backup of the database directory can be (note the backup before the MySQL service);
Virtual Host: Background backup or use phpMyAdmin (this demo in the background of the backup)

Note: The format of the "form statement" is selected according to the version number of MySQL installed on your server, if you do not change the server to select Default.
5, the Forum program and its attachment to the backup: The directory of your forum directories and files downloaded or copied to the place you want to back up, if you do not have the forum procedures and templates have made great changes, Then just back up the attachments (attachment directory) and customavatars (user-defined avatar) directory, if you need to backup the template plus a templates directory.
Our usual backup method for the Forum program and its accessories is: In the FTP directory, in addition to attachments and Customavatars, all other files and directories are moved to a new directory, such as Oldbbs. Of course, you can also move all forum files to the Oldbbs directory for backup.
6, download the config.inc.php file to the local (backup), in order to facilitate the new discuz!5.5 config.inc.php control configuration.
(ii) Considerations in the Upgrade
1, first, in the FTP directory in addition to attachments and Customavatars, all other files and directories are moved to a new Oldbbs directory, as shown in Figure 5:
2, upload discuz!5.5 (except install.php file) of all program files to the server covers the original 5.0 program. As shown in Figure 6:
