Simon Culshaw Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I'd set aside a considerable amount of time today to perform an upgrade but was pleasantly surprised by the simplicity and speed with which the auto-upgrade worked. I normally spend a hugh amount of time uploading the files to my server because I've got a constrained upload speed. Thank you for the improvements to the Auto-Upgrader - It's working fantastic!
3DKiwi Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I agree, it's really fast and much quicker than uploading yourself by ftp. Some comments: The upgrader uploads config_global.php.dist - I reckon there should be a warning to remove this as it's only required in a new installation. My existing global_config.php file had its permissions changed to 777. I went almost a day before picking this up. It should be 444 or 644. The upgrader uploads Media_path.php.dist - Again I don't think is required when doing an upgrade. I certainly be using the upgrader from now on. Upgrade times have gone from around an hour of being offline to being offline for a couple of minutes. 3DKiwi
bfarber Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I'm glad this has been working out well. We are continuing to improve the auto upgrader as needed over time.
