Upgrading MindTouch 9.08 to 9.08.3 (source)

Note: adapt the paths according to your system. For example, my deki is running on an xserve OsX 10.5 server, and is located under /Library/Documents/WebServer/wiki

1) Back up attachments:

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

2) Back up the settings

# cp /var/www/dekiwiki/LocalSettings.php ~/deki_backup

3) Download the new package

# cd ~/
# wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/dekiwiki/files/MindTouch%20Core%20Source/Minneopa%209.08.3/MindTouch_Core_9.08.3_Source.tar.gz/download
# tar xfvz MindTouch_Core_9.08.3_Source.tar.gz
# cd MindTouch_Core_9.08.3_Source.tar.gz

4) Stop the deki service and remove the old deki

# /etc/init.d/dekiwiki stop
# rm -rf /var/www/dekiwiki

5) Install the new version

# mkdir /var/www/dekiwiki
# cp -r web/* /var/www/dekiwiki

6) Restore the settings, attachments, and correct ownership

# cd ~/deki_backup
# cp LocalSettings.php /var/www/dekiwiki/
# tar xvzpf attachments.tar.gz -C /var/www/dekiwiki/
# chown -R www-data /var/www/dekiwiki/

7) Start the new host

# /etc/init.d/dekiwiki start
