I am using Dreamhost for my site if that makes a difference. (Runs on phusion)
Am anxious to try 1.0. Thanks to everyone making that happen. My question is what is the best way to have a fool proof backup before upgrading? I tried the backup extension, but it would not install for me. I was a bit concerned anyway since if I break my installation, the extension couldn't reinstall my prior working site, could it? I've been keeping regular mysql backups made through phpMyAdmin. * Could there be any gotchas there? You can download CSV, SQL, tons of other options. ** What is the best way to back it up. I'm guessing I need structure and data to recreate a corrupted dB if that should happen. *** Or can I recreate the site and dB through radiant then upload my data? As far as backing up the program, I've used ftp to download my site to my computer. * If something broke, I could surely upload it back to the server? ** I also download my gems directory. Is there a procedure or check list available somewhere with this type of info? * This would also be good to make a backup before installing any extensions, since I did have one extension crash my site. Uninstall did not fix the problem. I just did a fresh reinstall to correct the problem. That's not an option now, since I have about 150 pages. Thanks in Advance to all who answer this post. Radiant is the best ROR CMS and getting better. -- God Bless WizarDave Akins Webmaster http://jabi.com Just Another Bright Idea
