Update problems

Ruby Apps Radiant CMS
1

Hi All,

I have used Radiant Version 0.5.0 successfully, however after the
upgrade to 0.5.2, I can login but I can’t access the “pages” page
anymore ( I get an Application error (Rails) ). I can access snippets
and layouts without any problems.
I don’t get it. What have I done wrong here? I use Rails 1.1.6 with
fast-cgi.

The 0.5.0 version of radiant was installed from a tar.gz file. The 0.5.2
has been installed using gem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There should be an error at the end of log/production.log which will
give you a bit more information. Can you look there and see if it might
tell you what the problem is?

The 0.5.0 version of radiant was installed from a tar.gz file. The 0.5.2
has been installed using gem.

The upgrade script is designed to work only with the Gem version. I’d
suggest that you do the following:

  1. Verify that config/instance.yml contains the appropriate version for
    the gem (0.5.2)

  2. Delete all of the subdirectories under vendor except for plugins and
    bluecloth.

As long as you didn’t make any modifications to Radiant or install any
additional plugins, you should also be able to do this:

  1. Backup your the config/database.yml file

  2. Delete your old Radiant install

  3. Use the Radiant command to create a new install:

    % radiant /path/to/install

  4. Copy your old config/database.yml into the new config directory
