Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Tiki not upgrading (12.4 > 12.9)
Sorry you're having problems Mike. You may want to review the Upgrade Docs for details, but I'll try to help...
No, it only runs the installer/updater on your current database. It does not actually upgrade the files on your site (though, that is a future wish!).
Yes, that is the way that archive files work — they honor/respect/retain the original folder structure. Since you expanded the archive into a pig2 directory, your new Tiki path is: ../pig2/tiki-15.2/
This is because you unarchived the installer into a completely different directory (../pig2/tiki-15.2). Essentially you're creating a new install of Tiki in the ../pig2/tiki-15.2/ folder. You should run the installer directly from that directory: ../pig2/tiki-15.2/tiki-install.php
You may find my primer useful (it is out-of-date, but many of the key principles are identical).
A few words of caution:
- Moving from Tiki 12 to 15 is a big jump. There are lots of structural changes. If you've made any customizations, you'll need to re-work them for 15.
- I highly recommend backing up your database before testing any upgrades.
- Don't forget about the files and/or img/wiki_up/ etc directories!
