0. Backup your data. The StatusNet upgrade discussions below have some
guidelines to back up the database and files (mysqldump and rsync).
+ MAKE SURE YOU ARE THE SAME USER THAT RUNS THE PHP FILES WHILE PERFORMING
+ THE COMMANDS BELOW (I usually prepend the commands with 'sudo -u social')
+
1. Stop your queue daemons (you can run this command even if you do not
use the queue daemons):
$ bash scripts/stopdaemons.sh
will be the local files such as avatars, config and files:
avatar/*
- background/*
file/*
local/*
.htaccess
config.php
This command will point you in the right direction on how to do it:
- $ rsync -avP statusnet/{.htaccess,avatar,background,file,local,config.php} gnusocial/
+ $ 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.
