hi'
1st step : save your files !
I would proceed like this :
• upload xoops1 and his content on your local machine
• make a backup of your database
2nd step : move your files !
Move your files :
• install a local appli to emulate a web server (
example)
• in root folder (/www) create a new directory (for example /xoops232b)
• copy /xoops1 content in /xoops232b
3rd step : prepare and import your database
Before to import your database, be sure you get right paths and urls. Using notepad++ :
Search :
http://dock1039.com/xoops1
and replace by :
http://localhost/xoops232b
And search :
--- your-physical-path/xoops1
and replace by :
C:/wamp/www/xoops232b
Save changes, my-local-database.sql
Now create a new database :
• display PhpMyAdmin administration
• create a new database, for example dock1039
• import my-local-database.sql
4th step : modify www/xoops232b/mainfile.php
All codes, path and url must be changed to work in your local environment.
define( 'XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', 'C:/wamp/www/xoops232b' );
define( 'XOOPS_PATH', 'C:/wamp/www/xoops232b/xoops_lib' );
define( 'XOOPS_VAR_PATH', 'C:/wamp/www/xoops232b/xoops_data' );
...
define( 'XOOPS_URL', 'http://localhost/xoops232b' );
...
define( 'XOOPS_DB_HOST', 'localhost' );
define( 'XOOPS_DB_USER', 'root' );
define( 'XOOPS_DB_PASS', '' );
define( 'XOOPS_DB_NAME', 'dock1039' );
Now, your website should work on your local machine :
http://localhost/xoops232b5th step : upgrade your site
Download lastest
Full package, Xoops 2.4.4
Read
upgrade instructionsQuote:
Upgrading from XOOPS 2.0.* above 2.0.14 and 2.2.* (using the full package)
0. Unpack the archive to your LOCAL computer (e.g. PC) in a temporary directory.
1. Move the "upgrade" folder inside the "htdocs" folder (it's been kept out as it's not needed for full installs) on your local computer
2. Delete htdocs/mainfile.php, htdocs/install/, htdocs/cache/, htdocs/template_c/, htdocs/themes/ and htdocs/uploads/ from the "htdocs" folder on your LOCAL computer
* if you have created XOOPS_TRUST_PATH folder on your server, copy the content of /xoops_lib to that directory, and delete /xoops_lib from the "htdocs" folder on your LOCAL computer
3. Upload the content of the /htdocs folder on your LOCAL computer over your existing files on your server
4. For security considerations, you are encouraged to move directories xoops_lib (for XOOPS libraries) and xoops_data (for XOOPS data) out of Document Root, and change the folder names.
5. Make the directory of xoops_data/ writable; Create and make the directories of xoops_data/caches/, xoops_data/caches/xoops_cache/, xoops_data/caches/smarty_cache/ and xoops_data/caches/smarty_compile/ writable (permission 0777 on Linux).
6. Ensure the server can write to mainfile.php (permission 0777 on Linux)
7. If you have Protector previously installed, open the "mainfile.php" file , and remove the Pre-check and Post-check lines (if they exist):
include XOOPS_TRUST_PATH.'/modules/protector/include/precheck.inc.php' ;
include XOOPS_TRUST_PATH.'/modules/protector/include/postcheck.inc.php' ;
8. Access /upgrade/ with a browser, and follow the instructions
9. Follow the instructions to update your database
10. Write-protect mainfile.php again (permission 0444 on Linux)
11. Delete the "upgrade" folder from your server
12. Update the "system" module from the modules administration interface, other modules are recommended to update as well
If it is your first attempt to upgrade a xoops site, you should do it on a copy.
To copy a local site, move your files (again) !
• copy /xoops232b folder
• rename it, for example /xoops244
Modify your database (again) !
• export dock1039 database
• with Notepad++ search C:/wamp/www/xoops232b and replace by C:/wamp/www/xoops244
• search
http://localhost/xoops232b and replace by
http://localhost/xoops244• save, example dock1039_244.sql
Create a new database :
• in PhpMyAdmin, export your local database
• create a new database, for example dock1039_244
• import dock1039_244.sql
Modify xoops244/mainfile.php :
• replace xoops232b by xoops244
• replace database name, dock1039 by dock1039_244
Test it :
http://localhost/www/xoops244Now try to upgrade it !
6th step : upload
Your site is up to date. So upload all files inside /xoops244 to distant server, directly in /www :
• be careful, verify you do not erase important files
• if any, rename index.html in index-original.html
Now you are accustomed :
• create a new database
• import dock1039_244 (modified to work online)
• modify mainfile.php
There are certainly faster, but if you follow these steps, you're sure your site didn't crash.
