Upgrading

From GregariusWiki

Although Gregarius is quite stable, it is a good idea to backup your database and to disable all your plguins before proceeding with the following instructions.

• Move your Gregarius installation directory to a backup. Assuming that gregarius was in the rss directory you could do something like :

mv rss/ rss.old/

• Unpack the Gregarius archive on your web server. If you are installing from a tar.gz archive, type:

tar xvfz rss-x.y.z.tar.gz

Otherwise, if you are installing from a zipped archive, type:

unzip rss-x.y.z.zip

This will unpack the archive to a rss/ directory.

• Manually copy the settings from your old dbinit.php file to the new dbinit.php file. Do the same for rss_extra.php if you used php based password protection.

Tip : In most cases (eg. if you are upgrading from 0.5.0 to 0.5.2) it would be okay to overwrite dbinit.php and rss_extra.php from the old installation.

cp rss.old/dbinit.php rss/dbinit.php
cp rss.old/rss_extra.php rss/

• Thats it, there is no need to dance. If you need help you know where to find it.

[edit] Special Notes

[edit] Upgrading from 0.5.2 to 0.5.4

These instructions apply even if you are upgrading to the latest svn nightlies. (0.5.3+ svn)

• Delete your javascript Subcribe in Gregarius! bookmarklet and re-create it from the one in the admin panel
• There have been a few necessary changes to the way gregarius handles items. For the first few updates you will get lots of items that you have read already showing up as unread. But after a day or so everything will settle down.
• You will have to download new versions of some themes and plugins as some of them are not yet compatible with 0.5.4.
• Look over your configuration settings. There are some new configuration settings and some old ones have been removed.
