Upgrade Droppy V1 to Droppy V2

A lot has been changed in Droppy V2, that's why this guide will explain you how to upgrade your existing Droppy V1.x installation to Droppy V2. It's very important to read everything carefully, the change from V1 to V2 isn't quite easy.

A few things to note before upgrading to V2:

1. Are you using local storage or FTP storage and are your uploads encrypted ? Then it won't be possible to transfer over your uploads to V2. V2 uses a new encrypted algorithm that won't be able to decrypt your existing files. A good practice would be to disable your encryption and wait until your last encrypted upload expires. More info about the new encryption in V2 can be found over here
2. The hashing algorithm for passwords has been changed in V2, this means that you aren't able to login with your existing account (admin or user), the update guide below walks you through the process of creating a new user.
3. The uploads/tmp/ directory has been renamed to uploads/temp/ make sure the new temp directory exists after the update.
4. The blocked file types list has been changed to extension names, so you'll no longer have to use the MIME types of files, just write down a comma separated list of extensions. E.g: php,exe,bmp
5. After updating you'll need to delete all your backgrounds and re-upload them.
6. Your cron needs to re-configured, you'll now need to request the url http://yourdomain.com/cron every 5-30 minutes, more info can be found in the documentation. Something like this should work:
