ReleaseNotes181

Upgrading from 1.8.0

  1. Change directory to your Tikiwiki parent directory (for instance, if your Tiki is installed at /home/user/public_html/tikiwiki-1.8 then your parent directory would be /home/user/public_html)
  2. Download the 1.8.1 release from the link above
  3. Copy your old Tiki directory to "tikiwiki-1.8.1" (you can "move" it instead to save disk space, but doing a "copy" instead gives you a backup) - cp -r tikiwiki-1.8 tikiwiki-1.8.1
  4. Move the old Tiki directory out of the way - mv tikiwiki-1.8 tikiwiki-1.8_backup
  5. Unpack the new archive (pick one of the following depending on which file you downloaded):
    • bzip2 -dc tikiwiki-1.8.1.tar.bz2 | tar xf - (for the .tar.bz2 file)
    • gzip -dc tikiwiki-1.8.1.tar.gz | tar xf - (for the .tar.gz file)
    • unzip tikiwiki-1.8.1.zip (for the .zip file)
  6. Clear the Smarty compiled templates so that the updates all work properly - rm -rf tikiwiki-1.8.1/templates_c/*
  7. (Optional but recommended) Move your new Tiki directory back to where the old one was, so your links don't break - mv tikiwiki-1.8.1 tikiwiki-1.8
  8. There are no other updates or SQL scripts to run, so you're done
  9. Note: Tiki customizations (style sheets, etc) will have to be migrated manually
