upgrading from 1.5.0 to 1.5.1

Post by jazcyk »

the 1.5.x docs say:
3.d. Upgrading phpMyFAQ 1.5.x

Updating phpMyFAQ 1.5.x is fairly simple. Via FTP copy all new files from the update zip file except:
the files data.php and config.php in the directory inc/
all files in the template/ directory
However I can't find an update.zip file nowhere :?
Am I blind (has happend before!) or has it jut not been packed yet?

Since I have customized the index.tpl a little I would like to ask too if there is any change in that file form 1.5.0 to 1.5.1 (if not there is no idea in replacing the file!).

BTW: what is a realistic time-perspective for 1.6.x to be production-ready ?

Hi,

just take the full package and don't overwrite your template files. Sorry for the wrong documentation, I'll fix it as soon as possible.
BTW: what is a realistic time-perspective for 1.6.x to be production-ready ?
If everything goes well we have a first alpha version this year. 1.6 will be a big update due to the new authentication system.

I want to be sure to do it right!

Replace everything exept the /template directory ?
What about the database? Any changes to this?
Should the update.php file be executed (if there is any) ?

Hi,

yes, all files... the database won't be upgraded, but run update.php.

I get this error

Post by jazcyk »

Warning: main(/home/httpd/vhosts/webyog.com/httpdocs/faq/inc/data.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/httpd/vhosts/webyog.com/httpdocs/faq/install/update.php on line 27

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/home/httpd/vhosts/webyog.com/httpdocs/faq/inc/data.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/httpd/vhosts/webyog.com/httpdocs/faq/install/update.php on line 27
What I did:

1) renamed the downloaded directory to "newfaq" and uploaded it as "newfaq"
2) deleted /newfaq/template directory and copied the /template directory from /faq to newfaq
3) renamed /faq to /oldfaq and renamed /newfaq to /faq

... that should be the same I think as overwriting the files - except that my old /faq directory still is intact in /oldfaq

running the ...install/update.php script returned the error.

So I now renamed /faq to /newfaq and renamed /oldfaq to /faq
... and is up and running again.

I also replaced the .htaccess from the old /faq to the new.
Did that before running the script.

Hi,

you still need inc/config.php and inc/data.php. They won't be overwritten from the full package because they were generate at installation.

I remember ...

Post by jazcyk »

.. that when we installed first time we had to log on the server from commandline as ROOT using SSH and change credentials to get write-access for installer.php - so that is probably it this time too. A special privilege problem on this server. Typical *nix issue!

Nice to be able to send work on to another person. Because I am not allowed to do this! :D

Hi,

hm, you have a very restrictive PHP installation but chmod 755 should work. :-)

Hi Thorsten

Post by jazcyk »

please have a look here:
http://www.webyog.com/faq/index.php?

I just upgraded to 1.5.2

It seems that only german and english are known with 1.5.2!?

Any fix?

Hi,

I see all languages in your FAQ. You should upgrade to 1.5.2 as soon as possible.

hey you don't understand!

Post by jazcyk »

go to www.webyog.com/faqnew and choose any other language but german and english!

It returns:
Warning: mb_language(): Unknown language "da" in /home/httpd/vhosts/webyog.com/httpdocs/faqnew/index.php on line 132

and even more garbage in japanese etc ...

So /faqnew IS 1.5.2, but that language problem is not acceptable!
If there is moe I need to do I'll do it, but then please tell ALL of it this time![/b]
