Question- Upgrade from 3.8.4 to 3.8.6 Patch Level 1
 

Just upgraded and followed this:

Upgrading from a previous version of vBulletin 3

Close your board via the Admin Control Panel.

Upload all files from the 'upload/' folder in the zip, with the exception of 'install/install.php'. Then open the 'upload/includes/' folder. In this you will find config.php.new. You should rename this to config.php and then open it in a text editor.

Open your browser and point the URL to http://www.example.com/forum/install/upgrade.php (where www.example.com/forums/ is the URL of your vBulletin). You should now be automatically forwarded to the appropriate upgrade script and step.

Follow the instructions on the screen. Make sure you click next step or proceed until you are redirected to your Admin Control Panel. Here, you can reopen your board.

What I don't understand is why do I need to rename config.php.new and open it in a text editor? As far as I can tell..... I don't need this file. I ran the upgrade script and everything appeared to install smoothly....

Do I do anything with the config.php file? Or, because it's an "upgrade" and not a fresh install, nothing needs to be added to that file and uploaded?

Thanks,
