[Xerte] Re: Upgrading from 1.8 to 1.9

[Ron Mitchell]

Hi Julian

This will hopefully be covered during the next Xerte Friday on 22nd March
but here's a summary that I've posted to the list previously:

 

1. backup existing database and directory just in case

2. drop 1.8 code over top of existing code (for an upgrade you don't need
the setup folder)

3. visit the install to test the basics are working ok via guest access e.g.
create and test an LO

4. If you are using LDAP for authentication visit
http://yourinstall/upgrade.php to copy details from sitedeatils to ldap
table

5. change from guest to ldap or one of the other authentication options in
config.php by commenting/un-commenting the relevant line

6. If you are using Moodle for authentication read and follow the
instructions in the moodle_integration_readme file

7. refresh index.php and test login and creation etc

 

The most recent code is always available from the svn but that can sometimes
contain new issues too whereas the zip downloads are less up-to-date.

 

HTH

Subject: [Xerte] Re: Upgrading from 1.8 to 1.9

 

Hi all,

 

Is there any documentation available on upgrading our 1.8 installation of
XOT to 1.9? In particular we have quite a large number of learning objects
linked to from  within Moodle and want to make sure the upgrade doesn't
break the links.

 

Any tips or things we should be looking out for? Where is the best place to
get the most recent version of 1.9?

 

Any help much appreciated!

 

cheers

Hi all,

 

We have just received the following from an instructional designer working
on a university project using Xerte:

 

"The XERTE server won't allow me to export zip files so I can't
keep a manual backup.  At present I'm having to double build on a
non-UoB XERTE server (something I'd prefer not to do because it can be
quite time consuming).  I was wondering if this is something they were
aware of?"

 

We are currently running 1.8. Any suggestions?

 

cheers
