| + | ===== Upgrade 2.x to 3.x ===== | ||
| + | - Take a [[how_to:backup_website|backup of your site]] first | ||
| + | - On your server, copy or delete the folder: ''/admin/''. Sometimes the easiest thing to do is to copy ''/admin/'' to ''/admin-old/''. | ||
| + | * **HINT:** If you have a language file other than en_US.php, make sure you save off a copy from within ''/admin/lang/'' | ||
| + | - Upload the new ''/admin/'' folder from the [[http://get-simple.info/download/|download]] you unzipped. | ||
| + | - Update your root level ''index.php'' file from the one within the downloaded zip file | ||
| + | - Fix the ''.htaccess'' file's rewrite rules to look like this: ''RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]'' The underscore "_" is what's different here. | ||
| + | - The first time you try and log in after uploading, ''update.php'' will run and attempt to re-organize all the data XML files. This is required in order to support multi-user capabilities. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Troubleshooting ==== | ||
| + | If you encounter problems logging in or during ''update.php'', you can try and take one of these two drastic steps to help reinstall your site: | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Option #1 === | ||
| + | - Create a new installation of GetSimple on your server with the download of 3.0 | ||
| + | - Complete the installation so you now have a blank 3.0 GetSimple site. | ||
| + | - Copy over the following files/folders from your old site: | ||
| + | * ''/data/pages'' | ||
| + | * ''/data/other'' (for 3.1) | ||
| + | * ''gsconfig.php'' | ||
| + | * Any languages you might have installed in ''/admin/lang'' | ||
| + | * Any plugins you might have installed in ''/plugins'' | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | === Option #2 === | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Delete/Copy off **website.xml**, **user.xml** and **cpsettings.xml** from your server's ''/data/other/'' folder. | ||
| + | * You will need to remember the settings within these files so when you go thru the installation again, you can put back the settings. | ||
| + | - Make sure that setup.php and install.php are still located within your ''/admin/'' folder (they get deleted by the install if it thinks everything is already installed) | ||
| + | * We are effectly tricking the install to think that this is a brand new installation, and it will re-create these files upon install. | ||
| + | - Try to login. It should redirect you to a brand new install page. A new installation will never touch existing page files. | ||
| + | - When you are logged in, remember to re-setup all your settings that were lost when you deleted the 3 files from step #1. Remember to go in and re-[[themes:installation|choose your theme]]. | ||
