I had a very old version of PHPGedView on a server that died. I'm trying to restore the entire setup to a new server. I've copied the database and installed 4.3 but it appears I need to update the database structure. I assume that is what upgrade33-40.php is supposed todo but I don't see it in the distribution. I downloaded the oldest distribution available (4.2) and it isn't there either.
Is there a download location? Anyone have a copy they can forward?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Generally speaking, when you launch the new version of PhpGedView, you log in as Admin and the program will upgrade the database automatically.
However, you still need to re-import the GEDCOM file into the newly updated database, replacing whatever is in there. This step is absolutely necessary so that the database is properly populated and the various indexes are built.
If you don't have a current GEDCOM, you can export the newly upgraded database to a GEDCOM file, and then re-import that newly exported GEDCOM. The Export function does not use any database indexes -- it uses just the database contents.

How "very old"???
You should be using version 4.3.1 (the "SVN" version). This version can be downloaded from the following link:
