Upgrade 2.0 to 2.2: (1) Howto - (2) user registration bug
1. Environment facts:
My system was upgraded - as far as I remember - :
from 1.9.9 to 1.9.10 - then to 2.0.
DB : structure + content maintained.
Inside only: approx. 100 Wiki-pages + 20 users.
2. Upgrade problem : Lacking Howto?
Uploaded to the server (shared hosting):
Upgrade package: tikiwiki-inc-2.0-to-2.2.tar.gz
I studied README (inside this package).
The howto file "INSTALLER" - mentioned there - is not present.
This mention probably refers to INSTALLER in the MAIN package
- but that could not be considered as specific enough.
3. Question - is the following o.k.?
I guess the lacking howto info as follows:
a) uncompact the file set within your current tikiwiki system.
. (hence: overwrite current files)
b) Set permissions where required
. (REM: permission 777 not tolerated for me
. = hoster lunarpages.com - worked fine with 755, some required 775)
c) Run the file /installer/tiki-installer.php
4. Data base: No upload, no change
Most upgrades concern running systems...
So I typically would do the upgrad with the option of NOT re-installing
the DB. (in my case: MySQL)
If my instruction is o.k., I suggest to add a corresponding
short text file like "INTALL-UPGRADE" in future upgrade packages.
A short minimal HOWTO in the location where you expect it,
would avoid a lot of error risks.
For the very different DB bug problem for upgrading, I will make a second post in this thread.
