Problem How-To guide for updating FTB Server

[seattleda]

So, the new Direwolf20 1.1.5 server came out recently. I've searched, but cannot find a (decent or official) How-To guide for updating from an earlier version. Step-by-step guide would be very useful. Probably not just for this update, as I'm sure most other modPacks have updates and would use the same procedure.

I'm not the first person to ever want to update my server... Others have done it, what steps did they take? IS there an official methodology?

Save the configs! ?
Many I've seen say trash everything but your server props and world folder. What if I've modified my configs, say, to make buildcraft oil not spread? Should I trash the config and then re-apply the change after bringing the world up in the new version?

It's actually quite simple.

Before I begin though, replacing the configs is optional, however...some mods that were updated may have updated things in the configs as well, so I normally replace the configs as well and just update the changes I've made to the configs (I keep a list of the changes I've made for this purpose)

1. Backup Server
2. Shutdown Server
3. Delete mods, coremods, and config (optional) folders
4. Upload all new files, overwrite anything that's already there
5. Redo configs if you deleted the old ones
6. Restart server

Should be good to go after that .

Keeping a record of config changes is a good idea, I'll do this in the future.
