Appropedia:Site development/Upgrade checklist

Pre Upgrade List[edit | edit source]

Steps taken in upgrate to 1.9.2[edit | edit source]

Tested the latest domian backup by untaring it to a test directory. Everything looked okay. Deleted the test directory. Renamed today's domain and database backups to be different than the pre-update backup.
cd ~/appropedia.org
mkdir ~/appropedia.org/preserve
cp LocalSettings.php ~/appropedia.org/preserve/LocalSettings.php
Run backup scripts for domain and database
- cd ~/backups
- ./appropedia.sh
- ./mysql.sh
cd ~/
wget http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.9/mediawiki-1.9.2.tar.gz
gunzip -c mediawiki-1.9.2.tar.gz | tar -xf -
cd mediawiki-1.9.2
mv AdminSettings.sample AdminSettings.php
vi AdminSettings.php
Correct these lines
- $wgDBadminuser = '*******';
- $wgDBadminpassword = '*********';
cp -R * ~/appropedia.org/
cd ~/appropedia.org
Check version number to confirm successful recursive copy (cp -R *)
- vi RELEASE-NOTES
/usr/local/php5/bin/php ~/appropedia.org/maintenance/update.php
rm -r preserve

That should be it.

Recommended: Test the update, Upgrade extensions. Follow the Post Upgrade List below.
