HOW TO UPDATE YOUR DATABASE FOR MAMBO VERSION 3.0.6.
*******************************************************

Because the new version of Mambo has significantly changed to improve security, there have been several changes to the structure of the database.

A major change that would affect your database is the fact that all passwords are now stored encrypted in the database. Therefore, any existing users you have set up in your database currently will no longer be able to login using the current passwords. 

We've included a script with this package, that will get all of your current user records, encrypt the exisiting passwords and place them back into the database. This script will also update the session table, adding two new fields and changing the datatype of one of the existing fields.

Its recommended before you run this update script that you take a back-up copy of your original database structure and records so that if anything goes wrong during the update you can always revert back to your original structure and data.

To run this update, open the "UpdateDBUsers.php" file in your browser window. Thats it!
Its recommended that after you've run this script, you delete the file from your server so that no-body can run the script again without your verification.
