Textile and Markdown are now extensions, so you probably need to rake db:extension:migrate Have a look at [http://radiantcms.org/blog/2007/01/23/how-to-getting-mental/](http://radiantcms.org/blog/2007/01/23/how-to-getting-mental/) Gabriel L. ---

The Textile and Markdown filters don’t have any database schema, so you don’t need to migrate. Anton, could you put the errors in a pastie and link them? ([http://pastie.caboo.se](http://pastie.caboo.se)) Sean ---

The ‘svn co’ and ‘svn export’ assume clean sheet. I’d expect something like 1. Recursively copy your old Radiant into a new directory (a bit more than simply backup) 2. Reset the SVN to a new repository sorry, I forget the command, switch or propsomethng … 3. run ‘svn up’ to get the new stuff 4. do some ‘rake migrates’ Unless the upgrade preserves the content of (aka value) the database its not an update. – “Rather than focus on _things_ and \_time-, focus on preserving and enhancing _relationships_ and accomplishing _results_” - Steven Covey. ---

([http://pastie.caboo.se](http://pastie.caboo.se) ) This one overflowed my xterm just on displaying “/” [http://pastie.caboo.se/36989](http://pastie.caboo.se/36989) – Bullet proof vest vendors do not need to demonstrate that naked people are vulnerable to gunfire. Similarly, a security consultant does not need to demonstrate an actual vulnerability in order to claim there is a valid risk. The lack of a live exploit does not mean there is no risk. - Crispin Cowan, 23 Aug 2002
