[CWB] Update difficulties

[Hardie, Andrew]

OK, first step: is your installation a working copy?


-------------
Working copy
-------------

If it is, check "svn info" to see whether it currently points at the trunk or the branch URL

Trunk - https://sourceforge.net/p/cwb/code/HEAD/tree/gui/cqpweb/trunk/

Branch - https://sourceforge.net/p/cwb/code/HEAD/tree/gui/cqpweb/branches/3.2-latest/

If you are on the Branch, just type "svn up". And your code is up to date.

If you are on the Trunk, re-point your checkout at the branch. The command is

        svn switch https://sourceforge.net/p/cwb/code/HEAD/tree/gui/cqpweb/branches/3.2-latest/

(which you must run from within the base directory of your CQPweb checkout.)

The code will then update to the most recent version on the branch.


------------------
Not a working copy
------------------

If it's not a working copy, then go to another location, and use

        svn export https://sourceforge.net/p/cwb/code/HEAD/tree/gui/cqpweb/branches/3.2-latest/ cqpweb-new-code

and then overwrite the files in the existing installation with these new files. (You  can then delete any leftover files from the earlier version.)


----------
Either way
----------

After that, run the upgrade-database.php script. If you want to be able to downgrade, then backup the whole database before this step.


Hope this helps

best

Andrew.

Subject: [CWB] Update difficulties


Hello all,
I'd like to update from 3.2.30 to the latest 3.2 version of cqpweb.
I first tried svn co
http://svn.code.sf.net/p/cwb/code/gui/cqpweb/branches/3.2-latest cqpweb but with no noticeable result. Although the update appeared to run as intended, the version displayed on the mainpage, and the various menus, remained unchanged.
I then tried a more radical approach with svn update which threw up a load of conflicts, and left me with a blank page at the web address.
I've since restored the previous state, but would appreciate any expert help in the matter. From my reading of the admin manual, the first command ought to have done the job, with no extra tweaks or database upgrades required.
Best,
Graham.
