Overview
Upgrade your MindTouch installation if it is running on Red Hat/CentOS.
Goal
After completing this tutorial you will be running the current stable version of MindTouch.
Steps
Backup your current install
Backup your MindTouch directory by running the following command:
cp -rf /var/www/dekiwiki /root/
Backup your database
mysqldump -uroot -p wikidb > wikidb-backup.sql
Backup configuration files
cp -rf /etc/dekiwiki /root/etc/
Check with Support
If you have a MindTouch commercial installation and are upgrading to a Major release, i.e. upgrading from 9.12.3 to 10.0.0, please contact MindTouch support before upgrading to confirm if you need a new license.
Confirm Environment
Before starting the backup please confirm that your VMware environment is up to date. Confirm the following areas:
Mono
Confirm the version of Mono that is running on your system by running the following command from command line:
mono --version
If this returns 2.10.1 or higher then it is running a stable and compatible version. If it returns any other version then you'll need to upgrade following the instructions here.
NOTE: Mono 2.10.1 is required for MindTouch 10.1 and higher. Mono 2.4.3 was required for MindTouch 10.0.x
Source Changes
If you have made any changes to the MindTouch source files, back them up as you'll need to merge them in after the upgrade. Also if you have any custom extension .dlls on the server, move those out of the directory as you'll need to recompile them in order to be compatible with the current stable version.
Upgrade
BEFORE PROCEEDING, ensure you have obtained a backup of your installation from the instructions above.
Next, you ensure your package is updated by running the following commands below:
rpm -qa | grep deki-enterprise rpm -qa | grep dekiwiki
If "deki-enterprise" is listed, then run the following command:
yum remove deki-enterprise
If "dekiwiki" is listed, then run the following command:
yum remove dekiwiki
Proceed with the upgrade now by running the following command from the command line:
yum install mindtouch
This will then run through and upgrade your MindTouch installation. When you receive a command line prompt again then your site has been upgraded. Load it in a browser and confirm when you go to the Control Panel that it says you are running the latest version.
Search index
Some upgrades may require you to rebuild the search index. First confirm if you need to rebuild by searching for some common terms in your MindTouch install. If you receive results then you shouldn't need to rebuild the search index. If it doesn't return results then go to Control Panel -> Cache Management -> Rebuild Search Index
You can click on Cache Management to refresh the page and see the status of the rebuild

If you have any questions at all and are a MindTouch Commercial Support customer, please contact support before proceeding with the upgrade.
