Upgrading
=========
-IMPORTANT NOTE: StatusNet 0.7.4 introduced a fix for some
-incorrectly-stored international characters ("UTF-8"). For new
-installations, it will now store non-ASCII characters correctly.
-However, older installations will have the incorrect storage, and will
-consequently show up "wrong" in browsers. See below for how to deal
-with this situation.
-
-If you've been using StatusNet 0.7, 0.6, 0.5 or lower, or if you've
+StatusNet 1.1.1 to GNU social
+-----------------------------
+
+We cannot support migrating from any other version of StatusNet than
+1.1.1. If you are running a StatusNet version lower than this, please
+follow the upgrade procedures for each respective StatusNet version.
+
+You are now running StatusNet 1.1.1 and want to migrate to GNU social.
+
+Before you begin: Make backups. Always make backups. Of your entire
+directory structure and the database too. All tables. All data. Alles.
+
+ 0. Stop your queue daemons 'php scripts/stopdaemon.php' should do it.
+ Not everyone runs queue daemons, but the above command won't hurt.
+
+ 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. There is no automated
-upgrade procedure in StatusNet 0.9.9. Try these step-by-step
+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
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 0.9.9 tarball and move it to "statusnet" or
+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. Rebuild the database.
+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!
- If your database is at version 0.8.0 or higher in the 0.8.x line, you can run a
- special upgrade script:
-
- mysql -u<rootuser> -p<rootpassword> <database> db/08to09.sql
-
- If you are upgrading from any 0.9.x version like 0.9.6, run this script:
+ In your new StatusNet 1.1.1 directory and AFTER YOU MAKE A
+ BACKUP run the upgrade.php script like this:
- mysql -u<rootuser> -p<rootpassword> <database> db/096to097.sql
+ php ./scripts/upgrade.php
- Despite the name, it should work for any 0.9.x branch.
-
- Otherwise, go to your StatusNet directory and AFTER YOU MAKE A
- BACKUP run the rebuilddb.sh script like this:
-
- ./scripts/rebuilddb.sh rootuser rootpassword database db/statusnet.sql
-
- Here, rootuser and rootpassword are the username and password for a
- user who can drop and create databases as well as tables; typically
- that's _not_ the user StatusNet runs as. Note that rebuilddb.sh drops
- your database and rebuilds it; if there is an error you have no
- database. Make sure you have a backup.
- For PostgreSQL databases there is an equivalent, rebuilddb_psql.sh,
- which operates slightly differently. Read the documentation in that
- script before running it.
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 that the XMPP
- bots have changed since version 0.5; see above for details.
-
-If you're upgrading from very old versions, you may want to look at
-the fixup_* scripts in the scripts directories. These will store some
-precooked data in the DB. All upgraders should check out the inboxes
-options below.
-
-NOTE: the database definition file, laconica.ini, has been renamed to
-statusnet.ini (since this is the recommended database name). If you
-have a line in your config.php pointing to the old name, you'll need
-to update it.
+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)
'panel'. If you have an existing user named 'panel', you should rename
them before upgrading.
-Notice inboxes
---------------
-
-Notice inboxes are now required. If you don't have inboxes enabled,
-StatusNet will no longer run.
-
-UTF-8 Database
---------------
-
-StatusNet 0.7.4 introduced a fix for some incorrectly-stored
-international characters ("UTF-8"). This fix is not
-backwards-compatible; installations from before 0.7.4 will show
-non-ASCII characters of old notices incorrectly. This section explains
-what to do.
-
-0. You can disable the new behaviour by setting the 'db''utf8' config
- option to "false". You should only do this until you're ready to
- convert your DB to the new format.
-1. When you're ready to convert, you can run the fixup_utf8.php script
- in the scripts/ subdirectory. If you've had the "new behaviour"
- enabled (probably a good idea), you can give the ID of the first
- "new" notice as a parameter, and only notices before that one will
- be converted. Notices are converted in reverse chronological order,
- so the most recent (and visible) ones will be converted first. The
- script should work whether or not you have the 'db''utf8' config
- option enabled.
-2. When you're ready, set $config['db']['utf8'] to true, so that
- new notices will be stored correctly.
+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.
