I had no problems moving from 1.5rc4 to 1.5rel. Backup the database files, backup the whole wiki folder, then copy across your images directory, set up permissions, and run the installer to configure it.
This method means that if anything goes wrong, you can go straight back to the old setup with minimal bother. There aren't any major major changes between the two versions.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if I could do this upgrade by simply overwriting the files, or if I need to make any database changes?
