Hi Mitch, Question to start with - how paranoid are you? How much downtime can you tolerate? I have generally done all major upgrades by creating a virtual machine that as closely as possible mimics the production environment. I then snapshot that environment, run a script that I've written to do the upgrade, and then test. If I need to refine my script, I alter the script, revert the snapshot, and run again, until it comes out just right. You're not talking a major upgrade, so you can probably get by with less paranoia. With that script in place, I know roughly how long the migration will take, know when I can plan it for, and I can alert the users to the pending changes and downtime. I'm running a wiki farm, with multiple MoinMoin instances, so it can take some time to upgrade, especially for major upgrades, where I've done steps like rebuilding the search indices. Step #0 - take server offline! Step #1 - backup! - note that I typically do this via rsync, so you can mostly backup in advance, and then do an incremental rsync at this step, so that it is quick. Step #2 - Update any dependencies that MoinMoin might benefit from (newer version of Python, etc.) Step #3 - install new version of Moin Step #3 - make/activate any new changes to MoinMoin configuration Step #4 - run content migration script Step #5 - run maintenance steps (cleancache, rebuilding search indices) Step #6 - update Apache & mod_wsgi config Step #7 - restart server That's sort of a rough outline. Actual steps required depend on what you're changing while upgrading. -Eric. On 6/21/12 11:41 AM, Moin Admin wrote:
