Hey guys, Genoa => Siena upgrade is ready for testing (since r1773).
The order is:
- Make a backup of your site files and database (install a copy of your site somewhere and test it there).
- (Optional) Remove files and folders which are no longer used in Siena (in system folder).
- Unpack Siena files on top of your existing Genoa copy.
- Make sure datas/config.php is writable (CHMOD 666).
- Run http://example.com/your_site_copy/install.php
- Select parsing mode and after that it will upgrade your config.php and database
Several notes about the upgrade script:
- If you choose to convert to HTML parsing, there will be no undo for this later. Neither you will be able to convert to HTML later.
- All modules will be upgraded to Siena automatically, the data will be kept.
- The default behavior is to update&keep existing plugins which have been ported to Siena.
- All non-ported plugins are uninstalled during upgrade.
- No selection/installation of new plugins (except for those which implement old functionality moved to plugins) is done, this is up to admin after upgrade.
