Hi Paul,

If you have no MODs installed

Step 1
Download the “Changed Files Only” from the download page at phpBB.com, and unzip it to a directory at your hard drive

Step 2
Inside of this zip you'll see several more zip files. Unzip the one that refers to the version you're updating

Step 3
Upload all those files, while overwriting all old ones. You should also upload the /install and /contrib directory which can be found in the main zip file (phpBB-2.0.xx-files.zip)

Step 4
Run /install/update_to_latest.php trough your browser, using http://www.domain.com/phpBB/install/..._to_latest.php, for example

Step 5
Delete the /contrib and /install directories from your server
