Hi, I have now uploaded new betapackages of MidCOM 2.8. Due to some firewall problems I will not release a changelog today. The changes from beta1 are not too big. The important part is that everyone takes out their testgloves and give 2.8 a spin.
To do this you can use PEARs way of running multiple PEAR installs [1][2]. This, you do not have to set up an extra server to run beta and 2.6 at the same time. ## How to do this: mkdir /home/tarjei/midcom-28 pear config-create /home/tarjei/midcom-28 pearrc.midcom-28 # NB! Important for the commands below. alias pear='pear -c pearrc.midcom-28' pear -c pearrc.midcom-28 install PEAR pear config-set web_dir /home/tarjei/midcom-28/midcom-static pear config-set midgardsql_dir /home/tarjei/midcom-28/midgard_sql pear config-set midgard_config_file midcom28 pear config-set mgdschema_dir /home/tarjei/midcom-28/midgard_schema # important for installing 2.8 pear config-set preferred_state beta # this is from [3]: pear channel-discover pearified.com pear channel-discover pear.midcom-project.org pear install pearified/Role_Web pear install midcom/Role_Mgdschema pear install midcom/Role_Midgardelement pear install midcom/Role_Midgardsql # reset these variables to be sure they are correct pear config-set web_dir /home/tarjei/midcom-28/midcom-static pear config-set midgardsql_dir /home/tarjei/midcom-28/midgard_sql pear config-set midgard_config_file midcom28 pear config-set mgdschema_dir /home/tarjei/midcom-28/midgard_schema pear install midcom/midcom pear install midcom/net_nehmler_blog midcom/midgard_admin_sitewizard Now, set up a new virtualhost using datagard and add the following in the virtual-host config: php_value include_path ".:/home/tarjei/midcom-28/pear/php" Then use sitewizard to create a new host record for this virtualhost. Note that you got two options here: a) Set up a new test database b) Create a host within your existing database. Use b if you want to test upgrading to 2.8. If you try that, please read [4]. ### Links: 1. http://www.go-pear.org/manual/es/installation.shared.php 2. http://norbert.mocsnik.hu/blog/archives/180-Updating-PEAR-Packages-Within-Your-Applications.html 3. http://www.midgard-project.org/documentation/installing-midcom-with-pear/ 4. http://www.midgard-project.org/documentation/upgrading_midcom_from_2-6_to_2-8 _______________________________________________ user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.midgard-project.org/mailman/listinfo/user
