Brim - Upgrade guide
I am very interested in your experiences with Brim.
- Is the installation/upgrade easy and straightforward or
are there things missing?
- Does the application meet your expectations?
- Are there things missing?
- ...etc...
You can send comments directly to me but preferable
you can add
them to the forum where other can respond to your
questions/remarks as well.
Upgrading the script basically follows the same steps as
installing it. Since you already did the installation
once, I will keep it short. In case of problems, read the
installation guide
- Unzip the file that contains the package
- You will now have several files, amongst these are the 'unpack.php', 'Tar.php' and
a gzipped tar-file (extension .tar.gz). These three files need to be
copied/ftp-ed to your webserver.
- Execute the unpack script via your webbrowser (older files will be overwritten,
no need to remove them first)
- Execute the installation script (install.php. If all goes well, the unpack script shows a link
to the installation script). The installation script also takes care of updates, it
uses the existing database configuration file to retrieve information about the
existing tables and possibly perform an upgrade where necessary).
- Remove the installation files
If the unpack script fails, you need to unpack the gzipped tar-file locally
and upload each file individually. Proceed with the installation script afterwards
