Having problems upgrading

rykkers · March 24, 2009, 5:31am

I’ve been running my blog for a long time using typo. It’s been running
on
typo 4.1.
My server recently crashed and I decided that it might be a good thing
to
upgrade the blog in the process of restoring everything.

I’ve gotten the old installation directory and a dump of the database
onto
my macbook, and it’s running under passenger there.

So I’ve tried to upgrade it to typo 5.2.

The first problem is that when I ran typo install
path/where/typo/isinstalled

It hung endlessly backing up the database. Now since I already had a
mysql
dump, and the install process never seems to use the backup, I bravely
commented out the call to back up in the rails-installer-gem.

Now it gets to the point where it’s trying to run the migrations, and it
fails with:

âžœ ~ $ sudo typo install typo

The fact that mongrel stop is failing is unsurprising, since it’s not
running, and it doesn’t seem to hurt.

But I’m at a loss to figure out why rake is failing. It’s not just rake
db:migrate but any use of rake inside the install directory. It seems
to be
associated with that RubyGem version error. But I can’t seem to find
where
it’s calling for 1.13.6. And 1.13.6 doesn’t seem to be available either
on
rubyforge or github

$ gem list --both actionpack

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

actionpack (2.3.2, 2.3.1, 2.2.2, 2.1.0, 2.0.2, 1.13.5, 1.13.3)

*** REMOTE GEMS ***

actionpack (2.3.2)

âžœ ~ $ gem source
*** CURRENT SOURCES ***

http://gems.rubyforge.org/
http://gems.github.com
âžœ ~ $

It would seem that since typo is installing rails 2.2, that a 2.2.x
version
of actionpack should be the target anyway.

Any ideas?

I believe that it is most likely the actionwebservice gem (which typo
depends on) you have installed that is making the call to actionpack
1.13.3

Try this: sudo gem install datanoise-actionwebservice --source
http://gems.github.com

That you will you the latest maintained version of actionwebservice
that doesn’t depend on legacy gems.

Hello,

We’ve been awared of that, and of a looping conflict with AWS when you
don’t have it and want to run rake gems:install.

So we’ve vendored AWS 2.2.2 in the current branch with will_paginate
(and every github hosted gems since gem deps doesn’t handle non
rubyforged hosted dependencies). This will be in the next release due
by the end of the week.

Cheers,
FrÃ©dÃ©ric

Thanks, that got me past that.

Are you the Ben B. I know?

I’ve now gotten Typo 5.2 running under passenger on my macbook, and
thanks
to a friend who’d saved my RSS feeds managed to re-enter the articles
which
hadn’t gotten backed up before the crash.

My next goal is to set this up to deploy to my Ubuntu server using
capistrano, passenger, and git for the code repository. Does anyone
know of
a good how-to, to save me struggling though myself?

Besides the deployment questions, I’m a little confused by the new
article
editing UI. The old UI had separate labeled areas for the section of
the
article to be shown on the main page, and for extended content (if any).
Now there’s an unlabeled text area with a section below for an excerpt.
I
tried using the excerpt for what goes on the main page, but it still
shows
the whole article there. How is this supposed to work now. My
preferences
are to be able to excerpt articles on the main page, but put the whole
article in RSS feeds.

I feel a little bit like Rip Van WInkle (or maybe Woody Allen’s
character in
Sleeper) having fallen asleep in Typo 4.1, and waken up in 5.2

Hi Rick,

Thank you for your feedback, which is the first of the kind since I
changed the editing UI to something more compact (and still subject to
changes after the nex release, I’m sketching something in this way)

The following is true if you’re using 5.2.98 / git master code.

When I redesigned the editing UI, I wanted something more easy and
straightforward to use for both people starting with Typo and people
migrating from Wordpress / Movable Type / Whatever. The body /
extended contents have been merged into one editor, with a “more”
button to separate them, actually like on most CMS.

Excerpt is a content that will appear on the “list” pages (home,
category, tags), but not on the post itself. It is currently a bit
brocken, and there is a ticket open for this issue. Next release is
due this week-end according our roadmap. This is the last known bug we
have to fix before this, so expect things to work when we release.
Expect also some more documented UI where it makes sense at that time.

Cheers,
Frédéric / neuro` on #typo

Hey Rick,

Is there any other Ben B.? Glad to hear that you got your
server trouble squared away.

There is a great article over at Slicehost on how to get passenger
rocking on Ubuntu, here
http://articles.slicehost.com/2009/2/2/ubuntu-intrepid-mod_rails-installation

although, that article has you installing “apache2-mpm-prefork”
and I would suggest installing “apache2-mpm-worker” instead, as that
seems to be preferred by passenger and uses less memory.

Ben
