2.0:beta11
There are a large number of signifigant changes / upgrades in this release. If you have created custom features / modules for your openscholar installation or downloaded additional third party modules (especially those that take advantage of features, spaces, or strongarm) we suggest upgrading in a test enviroment first.
Updating your Site
- Create a backup of your database prior to updating
- Put your site into "Maintenance mode" the update may a few minutes (/admin/settings/site-maintenance)
- un-tar and replace the files (retaining custom modules you have added)
- Run (/update.php)
- Run all avalible updates
- You will notice after you run updates that some updates say "Abort: waiting on xxx to run this update" this is because some updates need to wait to run till other modules are done with thier updates
- Run avalible updates a second time to run the dependent updates and assure that they run correctly (go back to /update.php)
- Revert Features, the easiest way is with drush by running (
drush features-revert-all) or you can use the ui at (/admin/build/features) - Clear the cache to remove any cached pages
- It is now safe to remove maintenance mode if your site looks ok
- Have trouble? Post to (#openscholar) on irc.freenode.net or (http://groups.drupal.org/openscholar)
