→Upgrade Mantis Bug Tracker (bug tracker)
* Download latest version of MantisBT ( https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/releases ) - (Use the ".tar.gz" file.)
* Upload the MantisBT ".tar.gz" file into the Gramps hosting site either using ftp or the CPanel "File Manager".
* Use the CPanel "File Manager" to unarchive it into <code>/home/gramps/</code> - it will create a new folder such as "mantisbt-release-2.10.0"
* Rename the new folder from such as "mantisbt-release-2.10.0" to "bugsnew"
* Copy "config_inc.php" from the old folder into the new folder (the "config_inc.php" file is located in the "config" directory.)
* Copy the "phpmailer" folder from the "library" folder from the old "bugs" into the new folder "bugsnew/library"
** Failing to to do this step will result in an unhelpful blank html page! Currently using PhpMailerAutoload v5.2.22 (20170105) check mantisbt readme if this needs to be upgraded. If so download from github.
* Check any readme type files to make sure there are not any database schema changes required - and follow the directions if there are...
* Rename the original folder from "bugs" to "bugsold"
