Re: [SL] Upgrade to current SL in big jump

[Paul T. <pt...@wa...>]

Do you use the provided update scripts? I did several installs, updates and
what not and found the procedure with these scripts pretty straight forward.


1) Did you remember to change the security settings for local use (in
/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf i believe)? That might cause the permission
denied errors. If that does not fix it, consider option

2) Updating both SQL and postgres a the same time might be a problem,
especially with exisiting 7.x database. I did a clean install, including
Postgres 8.
That leaves you to copy over /users /templates and /images by hand if you
changed anything there. The rest of the data is in the saved sql-file iirc.
Update that with the updatre scripts and follow the install howto if needed.

Plus: this works on new machine too, nice in case of update (or in my case
install to netbook)
Minus: manual copy fo some dirs and files and re-creation of users.

Create user(s) with database db_new_2.8.24, remeber to give the user a Pg
driver (via admin login). Then check if you can su postgres and do the psql
db_new_2.8.24 < db_old_2.6_1.sql
