[VuFind-Tech] Reinstall advice?

[Cornelison, L. - 1. - M. <cor...@ll...>]

After reading Till & Demian's helpful responses on my upgrade snafus, I have
a following question.

To start, I had originally downloaded and installed from the RC1  tgz  file.

Last week, I realized I was missing all of the newer goodies -- like the
HTTP proxy settings I need here  --  from the svn  RC1  update stream.

So I tarred up my original Vufind files, moved the tar file, and checked out
the svn trunk  [release 1917 at that time] then tried running the install
script, and manually re-entering the local .conf files values I had printed
out.

I left the original  vufind  db in place, and this was causing the script to
fail over a number of steps--and surely resulting in missing table(s) etc.


All I want to do is to start afresh, using the svn trunk, so that I will
keep up to date with the RC1 changes.

Will this strategy work for me to set up a fresh, default Vufind install on
Ubuntu? 
	Drop the current vufind db in Mysql
	Make sure the apache linking is still in place
	Re-run the install.sh script  
	Re-enter any local .conf files values as needed
	Start up 
	Re-import MARC data

Am I missing something else?

Thanks!

What version of VuFind did you upgrade from?

The recommended way to upgrade a RC1 installation to the soon to be 
published RC2 release (and current SVN trunk checkout) is putting the 
new VuFind code into its own place on the filesystem (eg. 
/usr/local/vufind_RC2 or whatever you like) and running the upgrade 
script upgrade/RC1toRC2.sh (on Unix, on Windows try RC1toRC2.bat).
That will take care of additional PEAR modules needed now by VuFind 
(though not of the include_path problem you had), upgrade an existing 
RC1 database structure to the new one and try to adjust config files 
based on the values you had in RC1.
Though, it will not migrate any changes you did on the user interface or 
in VuFind "internals"...

I guess there is missing more than one table... If you can't run the 
procedure outlined above, you may try running the php script 
upgrade/db_RC1toRC2.php alone to migrate your database to the current 
structure. Do that by calling
php upgrade/db_RC1toRC2.php [MYSQL_ADMIN_USER] [MYSQL_ADMIN_PASSWORD] 
[PATH_TO_YOUR_VUFIND_INSTALLATION]

If you don't care about the data in your VuFind database (such as user's 
literature lists, tags, comments etc.), you may even drop your old 
database and create the new database structure by using the SQL script 
mysql.sql (in VuFind's root directory) using standard MySQL procedures...
