Make sure you have at minimum php 7.0 running.
Back up your complete OSSN installation- and data directory.
Back up your database.
Download latest stable OSSN version from the download page of our website and unzip locally.
Login to your admin account - don't log off.
Disable Cache.
Disable all non-core components. (= all components which don't start with Ossn....)
Enable Default Theme.
Remove old Ossn installation from your site, except the folder named configurations and your Ossn data directory.
Upload all files and folders from locally unzipped installation package to former place on your server.
Check ownership of copied files and folders on your server. They must be read- and writable by apache. In doubt ask your provider how to set permissions correctly.
