# Staff+ migration guide

## Steps:

* Download your staffplusplus version from Spigot: <https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/staff.83562/history>
* Replace the Old Staff+.jar with the new Staff++ jar.
* A new directory StaffPlusPlus will be created.
* In the config file change storage type from `flatfile` to `sqlite` or `mysql`:

```yaml
storage:
  #Type is how it will store either a sqlite or mysql
  type: 'sqlite'
```

Staff++ dropped support for flatfile storage. We now support MySql or Sqlite. We do not yet support a migration from flatfile to the SQL database. **This means you will lose your previous reports/warning should you have them.** This is a one time loss and everything from this point out will always be gracefully migrated.

* All other properties should be migrated automatically if you are using the latest version of Staff++.
* Start up the server and see if everything runs.

Should you still encounter errors, compare your config with the [default configuration file](https://github.com/garagepoort/StaffPlusPlus/blob/master/StaffPlusCore/src/main/resources/config.yml).
