Upgrading MindTouch From 1.9.0 (Itasca) to 8.05 (Jay Cooke) VM Only


    This guide assumes you are upgrading the MindTouch Deki VMWare-Certified Virtual Appliance 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 the MySQL database and settings files, it is recommended in case a full reinstall is needed.

    Back Up 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 MindTouch Deki uses to determine settings:

    # cp /var/www/dekiwiki/LocalSettings.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.

    Rebuild the Index

    In the wiki, click on Tools, then Control Panel, and then Site Settings.Click Rebuild Index to re-index the wiki.
