To allow me to keep my wiki on line while upgrading, uploading files
and so forth ... I had "proven" a scheme where I would create a new
directory say "b-w" where I would make sure I had all the files, like
the images and so forth. When ready to upgrade, I would put a
"Maintenance" version of index.php in the actual directory, then do
the install/upgrade scripts in the new directory, make sure
everything was working, then, rename off the old site, rename in the
new site and off we go ... minimum down time.
With version 1.5, it is MUCH more insistent that it be installed in
the target directory with no if, ands or buts. even when the
configuration file SHOULD only need the one variable with the path
name changed, this does not seem to properly take effect. Restarting
apache does not seem to change things, nor does dumping the cache.
Renaming the directory back to the new "bad" name resurrects all pages.
I am not using, or at least I did not intend to use server side
caching as I do not have direct access to the servers I use to host
the Wiki (not all of us can afford that).
So, I only have upload to hosting dirs with FTP, and access to the
database via phpMyAdmin. To this point I have no access to run local
php maintenance files, though that is another issue for another day ...
Any thoughts? This one has me stumped. I "seem" to have it working on
the live site now, but no idea why. trying to make the residual
change to the local mirror on my hard drive does not seem to want to
allow the "proper" name. More interesting, take out the config files
and it still does not see the "index" page, rename it back, and there
it is ...
Any suggestions might be friendly ... :)
