- 1. Unpack your GNU social code to a fresh directory.
-
- 2. Synchronize your local files to the GNU social directory. These
- will be the local files such as avatars, config and files:
-
- avatar/*
- background/*
- file/*
- local/*
- .htaccess
- config.php
-
- 3. Replace your old StatusNet directory with the new GNU social
- directory in your webserver root.
-
- 4. Run the upgrade script: 'php scripts/upgrade.php'
-
- 5. Start your queue daemons: 'php scripts/startdaemons.php'
-
- 6. Report any issues at https://gitorious.org/statusnet/gnu-social/

-Legacy StatusNet instructions
------------------------------
-
-These instructions are here for historical and perhaps informational
-purposes.
-
-If you've been using StatusNet 1.0 or lower, or if you've
-been tracking the "git" version of the software, you will probably
-want to upgrade and keep your existing data. Try these step-by-step
-instructions; read to the end first before trying them.
-
-0. Download StatusNet and set up all the prerequisites as if you were
- doing a new install.
-1. Make backups of both your database and your Web directory. UNDER NO
- CIRCUMSTANCES should you try to do an upgrade without a known-good
- backup. You have been warned.
-2. Shut down Web access to your site, either by turning off your Web
- server or by redirecting all pages to a "sorry, under maintenance"
- page.
-3. Shut down XMPP access to your site, typically by shutting down the
- xmppdaemon.php process and all other daemons that you're running.
- If you've got "monit" or "cron" automatically restarting your
- daemons, make sure to turn that off, too.
-4. Shut down SMS and email access to your site. The easy way to do
- this is to comment out the line piping incoming email to your
- maildaemon.php file, and running something like "newaliases".
-5. Once all writing processes to your site are turned off, make a
- final backup of the Web directory and database.
-6. Move your StatusNet directory to a backup spot, like "statusnet.bak".
-7. Unpack your StatusNet 1.1.1 tarball and move it to "statusnet" or
- wherever your code used to be.
-8. Copy the config.php file and the contents of the avatar/, background/,
- file/, and local/ subdirectories from your old directory to your new
- directory.
-9. Copy htaccess.sample to .htaccess in the new directory. Change the
- RewriteBase to use the correct path.
-10. Upgrade the database.
-
- NOTE: this step is destructive and cannot be
- reversed. YOU CAN EASILY DESTROY YOUR SITE WITH THIS STEP. Don't
- do it without a known-good backup!
-
- In your new StatusNet 1.1.1 directory and AFTER YOU MAKE A
- BACKUP run the upgrade.php script like this:
-
- php ./scripts/upgrade.php
-
-11. Use mysql or psql client to log into your database and make sure that
- the notice, user, profile, subscription etc. tables are non-empty.
-12. Turn back on the Web server, and check that things still work.
-13. Turn back on XMPP bots and email maildaemon.
-
-NOTE: the 1.0.0 version of StatusNet changed the URLs for all admin
-panels from /admin/* to /panel/*. This now allows the (popular)
-username 'admin', but blocks the considerably less popular username
-'panel'. If you have an existing user named 'panel', you should rename
-them before upgrading.
-
-Privacy
-=======
-
-With StatusNet 1.0, our default install profile is for private sites.
-
-If you did not specify the privacy level of your site previously, it
-was public. Now, it's private.
-
-If you upgrade a public site, you will need to reset the privacy
-level. You can do this in your config.php:
-
- $config['site']['private'] = false;
-
-...or with setconfig.php in the db:
-
- php setconfig.php site private false
-
-...or with the site admin panel.
+1. Stop your queue daemons 'bash scripts/stopdaemons.sh' should do it.
+ Not everyone runs queue daemons, but the above command won't hurt.
+
+2. Unpack your GNU social code to a fresh directory. You can do this
+ by cloning our git repository:
+ $ git clone https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-social.git gnusocial
+
+3. Synchronize your local files to the GNU social directory. These
+ will be the local files such as avatars, config and files:
+
+ avatar/*
+ file/*
+ local/*
+ .htaccess
+ config.php
+
+ This command will point you in the right direction on how to do it:
+ $ rsync -avP statusnet/{.htaccess,avatar,file,local,config.php} gnusocial/
+
+4. Replace your old StatusNet directory with the new GNU social
+ directory in your webserver root.
+
+5. Run the upgrade script: 'php scripts/upgrade.php'
+ The upgrade script will likely take a long time because it will
+ upgrade the tables to another character encoding and make other
+ automated upgrades. Make sure it ends without errors. If you get
+ errors, create a new task on https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-social/issues
+
+6. Start your queue daemons: 'bash scripts/startdaemons.sh'
+
+7. Report any issues at https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-social/issues
