    This guide assumes you are upgrading from v.1.9.0 to v.8.05. If you are upgrading from an earlier version, please visit http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com/MindTouch_Deki/Installation_and_Upgrade to find your appropriate guide.

    While the upgrade script does not affect settings or database files in this release, it is always best to back them up before upgrading in case a clean install is needed.

    Backup your attachments

    Type the following commands to create the backup directory and back up your attachments: 

    # mkdir ~/deki_backup
    # cd /var/www/dekiwiki/
    # tar cvzpf ~/deki_backup/attachments.tar.gz /var/www/dekiwiki/attachments

    Back Up Settings Files

    Enter the following commands to back up the files that Deki Wiki uses to determine settings: 

     

    # cp /var/www/dekiwiki/LocalSettings.php ~/deki_backup # cp /var/www/dekiwiki/AdminSettings.php ~/deki_backup # cp /etc/dekiwiki/mindtouch.deki.startup.xml ~/deki_backup # cp /etc/dekiwiki/mindtouch.host.conf ~/deki_backup

    Backup your MySQL Database

    Use the following line to back up the MySQL database: 

    # mysqldump -u<user> -p<pass> wikidb > ~/deki_backup/wikidb.sql

     If you did not change the default username and password, then it would be root and password for <user> and <pass>, respectively.

          

    Upgrade the Wiki

    Type the following command to upgrade DekiWiki to the newest version:

    updateWiki.sh

          

    After that script has completed, go to the IP of your wiki and click on Tools, and then About to confirm you are at the latest version.

    These instructions appear to be incomplete. Where is the updateWiki.sh script to be found? Seems likea lot of steps are missing. edited 07:47, 10 May 2008

    updateWiki.sh script is in src/scripts. In addition, you need install subversion.

    One thing that is going to keep Deki Wiki from being adopted rapidly is this type of page which has incomplete and conflicting instructions for upgrading from 1.9.0 to 8.05. There is no explanation of the process or description of what the process does. Who should use these instructions? Are they for VM users? Only the comments mention location of the script or that additional software is required.

    Hello,

    I have Deki-Wiki 1.9.0a (Itasca), but my web folder is /var/www/deki-hayes and not /var/www/dekiwiki/. Can you help me with a document regarding the migration of the folder names?

    Also, the configuration files contain the same deki-hayes path.

    l-ong:/var/www/deki-hayes# grep /var/www/deki-hayes * | wc -l

    l-ong:/var/www/deki-hayes#
