SimpleLog wiki | Installing / Upgrading

BACK UP YOUR CURRENT SITE! Files, database, all of it! BACK UP! BACK UP!

Important: If you're using MediaTemple Grid Server (gs) see this after upgrading: Using SimpleLog with MT(gs)

If you are upgrading from 1.1 or higher => current (for other versions, see this)

1. Copy the following files from your current install to the new simplelog folder:

/themes/* (all the directories in there that you want to keep)
/config/database.yml
/config/server.rb
/public/.htaccess (if you've made changes to it)

2. Replace the contents of your current install with the new simplelog folder and chmod:

chmod 755 log/
chmod 755 theme_backup/
chmod 755 public/dispatch.fcgi

3. Run the upgrade rake task:

rake simplelog:upgrade

4. Restart your server.
