    • Upgrading from 1.8.5 to 1.9.1

    Posted by Josephine Tan posts: 84 Singapore

    Hi!

    I'm going to upgrade my wikis from 1.8.5 to 1.9.1. However, I'm quite puzzled by the instructions for Upgrading the Database in UpgradeTo19.

    Where and how do I run the mysql command? I administer my website through one of those Control Panels commonly available on many web hosts.

    rgds,
    josephine

    You simply :

    1) Backup
    2) Upload/extract new 1.9.1 code
    3) browse to tiki-install.php
    4) login as admin
    5) Choose the 1.8 to 1.9 upgrade script
    6) remove tiki-install.php
    7) Have a cuppa tea and relax

    Easy 😊

    So easy in fact Ill put the kettle on now in readyness 😊

    Ah, I see what you mean. Thank you! 😊

    Running tiki-install.php opens a menu-page page which is really easy to use. Would be useful to include these instructions in the UpgradeTo19 page.

    Another question though: If I want to create a multitiki, but I couldn't quite understand the instructions. Do you have a simpler version like the one here?

    Strange. For me, installation was indeed a breeze. But upgrading is rather puzzling.

    For example, where and how do I run the mysql command in the way described in the Upgrading the Database section — mysql -f -u dbuser -p tikidb < tiki_1.8to1.9.sql?

    I don't find how I could upgrade TikiWiki 9,1 to 9,2
