[solved] Upgrade to 1.6.7

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

[solved] Upgrade to 1.6.7

Post by kAlvaro »

I'm using 1.6.6 ("Full") and I've read the announce about 1.6.7. The announce doesn't mention how to upgrade so I found this in the site documentation:

http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... /Upgrading

I've downloaded cmsmadesimple-full-diff-1.6.6-1.6.7.tar.gz but it doesn't have any UPGRADE.txt file and it doesn't have an install/upgrade.php script either.

Must I assume it's save to uncompress it on top of my current setup? No files are ever renamed or removed in upgrades? No database changes have happened in 1.6.7?

unpack the 1.6.7 diff into your existing CMSms install (after a backup of both files and DB, of course).  Let it overwrite files as needed.

Clear cache.

Done.

Some upgrades don't have database changes and therefore no /install/upgrade .

True 1.6.7 have no db changes.

I was not able to uncompress the diff release on top of my setup because it has a zero byte file at:

modules/TinyMCE/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/safari

where previous release had a directory. However, the full 1.6.7 package unpacked fine. I validated the files with the cmsmadesimple-1.6.7-full-checksum.dat file and everything looked good. Then I just had to remove the install directory and the SITEDOWN file following the instructions of the notifications in the admin area.

Thank you for your advise.
