Shimmie2 Release Candidate
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Okay, so maybe my estimate of "it should be done within the week" was a bit
|
|
optimistic... I did get the first 3.5k lines of code done in a week, then
|
|
another 1k of extensions in another week, but making it all work *properly*
|
|
took 3 months...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
MySQL 4.1+
|
|
PHP 5.0+
|
|
GD or ImageMagick
|
|
|
|
PHP 4 support has currently been dropped, because
|
|
a) It's a pain in the ass to support
|
|
b) Nobody has told me they want it
|
|
|
|
If you want PHP 4 support, mail me, and I'll see if I can get it working for
|
|
version 2.1...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
1) Create a blank database
|
|
2) Unzip shimmie into a folder on the web host
|
|
3) Visit the install folder with a web browser
|
|
4) Enter the location of the database, and choose login details for the first
|
|
admin of the board
|
|
5) Click "install". Hopefully you'll end up at the configuration screen; if
|
|
not, you should be given instructions on how to fix any errors~
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrade from 0.8.4
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
BIG NOTE: 0.8.4 is the only version the upgrader supports; please upgrade to
|
|
that before going any further! Feel free to try other versions, just don't
|
|
complain when it doesn't work :P
|
|
|
|
Upgrade process:
|
|
1) Make backups of everything. The most important things are your database
|
|
data, and your images folder. config.php and the thumbs folder are also
|
|
very helpful.
|
|
2) Check that your backups actually contain the important data, they aren't
|
|
just empty files with the right names...
|
|
3) Create a new, blank database, separate from the old one
|
|
4) Unzip shimmie2 into a different folder than shimmie1
|
|
5) Visit the URL of shimmie2
|
|
6) Full in the old database location, the new database location, and the full
|
|
path to the old installation folder (the folder where the old "images" and
|
|
"thumbs" can be found)
|
|
7) Click "upgrade"
|
|
8) Wait a couple of minutes while data is copied from the old install into the
|
|
new one. You may wish to spend these minutes in prayer :P
|
|
9) Log in with an existing admin account and set things up to taste
|
|
|
|
The old installation can now be removed, but you may wish to keep it around
|
|
until you're sure everything in v2 is working properly~
