Hello List, I’ve currently got my site about 95% done using regular Trunk, but I’d like to move to mental since I can’t seem to get the mailer behavior working with the current trunk on my host. Is there an easy way to do this without losing the content I currently have? I’ve been looking all over the [radiantcms.org](http://radiantcms.org) site and can’t find reference on how to upgrade anywhere. Thanks, BJ Clark ---

P.P.S. I’ll be in #radiantcms this afternoon if you want real-time help. ---

Here’s a quick way to do it. Depending on how you put the code on your server (via svn or tarball or gem), use SVN to checkout or export the code from the mental branch into the same directory. In the root of the app (above public/), run rake db:migrate. This will bring your new installation inline with the latest database schema. Now, restart your webserver/app server/fcgi processes and enjoy! Sean P.S. to install the Mailer extension, use SVN again, but checkout/export into the vendor/extensions directory instead of the root. ---

List, The only issue I had upgrading (after removing all my page behavior types from the database by hand because all the behaviors were breaking everyhting) is that most of the links in admin don’t work anymore. I keep my site under /content/ and lots of the links are trying to load /admin/page instead of /content/admin/page. Is there some way to change this? Thanks, BJ Clark ---

I’ve added that, but the tabs are still not working. All the other links are full links, the tabs are all at “/admin/layouts/” or whatever. Any suggestions? BJ Clark ---

BJ, Go into the config/environment.rb file and put this line at the bottom: ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative\_url\_root = “/content” Sean ---

List, I’m still having this problem. In fact, I’m trying to get Sean’s Mailer Extension to work and it is redirecting to /contact/ instead of /content/contact/. I have the suggested line in config/environment.rb, but it doesn’t seem to help. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, BJ Clark ---

BJ, If you’re using Apache on the frontend, you’ll also want to use the ‘RewriteBase’ directive in your .htaccess file. Sean ---

Hello All, I’m still having this issue and it’s the only thing stopping me from launching at this point. Here’s the issue all over again: My site is at [domain.com/content/](http://domain.com/content/) However, lots of links are trying to load /page\_name or /admin/page not /content/admin/page. I have tried: .htacces has a line that says: " RewriteBase /content" environment.rb has a line that says: “ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative\_url\_root = “/content”” Anyone have any ideas? I have no idea what else to do. BJ Clark ---

Sean, Thanks for you help again. I’ll try to figure that out. I just don’t understand what has changed that I need to do all this. the svn trunk of radiant didn’t have these url problems. Is something different in Mental with regards to urls? BJ ---

The ‘url’ tag called Page#url directly which delegated to Behaviour#page\_url and at no point does it look at the request to determine the root path, at least that I can see. Dan. ---

Thanks Daniel, I’ll look into that. Here’s what I don’t understand. This problem has only occured after I switched to Mental. It was not a problem, even though the install was exactly the same, under the regular svn trunk. What has changed? That’s what is so aggravating. BJ
