		+	=== Upgrading to WHMCS 7.2 ===
		+
		+	Upon installation (or upgrade to v7.2), WHMCS will perform an evaluation of your current environment. This evaluation will inspect the following:
		+
		+	A. Does the current environment support Apache Mod_Rewrite?
		+
		+	B. Is there an .htaccess file within the WHMCS root directory?
		+
		+	C. If there is an .htaccess file, are the contents identical to the suggested ruleset provided in htaccess.txt of previous WHMCS releases?
		+
		+	D. If there is an .htaccess file, and it is not identical to previous releases' ruleset suggestions, do the contents contain the WHMCS comment marks indicating WHMCS has leveraged this file in the past?
		+
		+	After the evaluation, one of the following will occur:
		+
		+	* If the current environment is not supported (not A), then Auto-Managed Rewrite is disabled and and no further action will be taken.
		+
		+	* If the environment is supported (A) and a .htaccess file does exist (not B), Auto-Managed Rewrite will be enabled and a fresh .htaccess file will be created with the latest WHMCS rewrite ruleset. Any future update of WHMCS that requires a change to the rewrite ruleset will be applied automatically during the update process.
		+
		+	* If the environment is supported (A) and there is an .htaccess file (B), only if the contents are solely WHMCS content (C) or the WHMCS ruleset has been managed by WHMCS automation along with your own custom rules (D) will Auto-Managed Rewrite be enabled. The current .htaccess file will be updated to the current WHMCS ruleset. Any future update of WHMCS that requires a change to the rewrite ruleset will be applied automatically during the update process.
		+
		+	* If the environment is supported (A) and there is a .htaccess file (B), but it is not solely WHMCS content or there is no indication that WHMCS can manage its rules along side your custom rules (neither C or D), then Auto-Managed Rewrite is disabled and no further action will be taken.

	Many parts of WHMCS can be accessed through search-engine-friendly URLs. The way in which WHMCS processes these depends on your server environment.		Many parts of WHMCS can be accessed through search-engine-friendly URLs. The way in which WHMCS processes these depends on your server environment.
