= Upgrade Mantis Bug Tracker (bug tracker) =
Backup grampsbug2 grampsbugs mysql database using the GoDaddy CPanel interface.
Download latest version of Mantis - I use the .tar.gz file.
Upload the .tar.gz file into the Gramps hostingeither ftp or using the CPanel file manager.
Use the GoDaddy CPanel file manager to unarchive it into / - it will create a new folder such as mantisbt-1.2.14.
Rename the new folder from such as mantisbt.1.2.14 to bugsnew.
Copy config_inc.php from the old folder into the new folder- that file in the last version is now in the config directory rather than root as previously.
Check any readme type files to make sure there are not any database schema changes required - and follow the directions if there are...
= Upgrade Media Wiki (wiki) =
grampswiki2 grampswiki is quite a large database, and Media Wiki upgrades are generally more likely to have problems than other actions in Gramps!
Use the Gramps interface (MySQL, then phpMySQL) to remove the often large cache tables of grampswiki2 grampswiki (l10n_cache and objectcache).
Backup grampswiki2 grampswiki using the GoDaddy CPanel interface.
Download the latest version of Media Wiki - I use the .tar.gz file.
Upload the .tar.gz file into the Gramps hosting.
Use the GoDaddy CPanel file manager to unarchive it into / - it will create a new folder such as mediawiki-1.20.2.
From here, you can use a combination of the file manager or ssh, so long as you get it all done!
Copy the LocalSettings.php file from wiki to wikinew.
(GoDaddy's new file manager means you have to 'duplicate', then 'move', then 'rename' files and folders to copy them. You can also just download and then upload to the new wiki location.) Copy the entire images folder (quite large - nearly 800MB) from wiki to wikinew - you will be replacing an existing folder in wikinew. Again, you could do this with the filemanager or use ssh if you are comfortable with it). Even using ssh it takes quite a while, and I'm pretty sure it puts a load on the server...
Copy folders from the extensions folder in wiki into wikinew. Copy only the ones that do not exist there (that is, don't overwrite folders in the extensions directory with older versions - only copy across the ones that are not already there). We use about 5 or 6 extensions that do not come with the base install. As at November 2014, they are ConfirmAccount, LabeledSectionTransclusion, SearchFeed, Variables, Vector - you may even need to see if there are new versions of these, as sometimes the original versions will not work with the new version of MediaWiki.
= Upgrade Word Press (blog) =
Backup grampsblog mysql database using the GoDaddy CPanel interface.
Login to the blog using an admin login.
