Comparing version 7 and version 6

# Backup your database
# Update the gem
 

  % gem update radiant
 
# Create a new Radiant project using the updated `radiant` command
  

   % radiant -d [mysql|sqlite3|postgresql] /path/to/project
  
# Copy your old database configuration (config/database.yml) over to the new project
# Execute the following command in the new project's root directory:
  

   % rake production db:migrate
  

Any plugins you used in the past will need to be upgraded to use the new [[Extensions|extension]] system.

Updating 0.6.x Gem installs

# Update your local gems
  

  % sudo gem upgrade
  
# Make a backup copy of your Radiant install (just in case)
# Update Radiant
  

  % rake radiant:update
  
# Check your config/environment.rb file and copy any additions over if necessary
# Migrate your database
  

  % rake db:migrate
  

Note if you're updating from a pre-0.6.5 gem that you'll need to change the RADIANT_GEM_VERSION constant in config/environment.rb (eg to “0.6.6”) or remove it altogether. Also config/environment.rb has changed in 0.6.5 so you'll have to copy any pre-0.6.5 modifications from environment.bak into the new environment.rb.

Updating a Radiant install that was frozen to edge

Delete the vendor/radiant folder before upgrading. If you don't the update will appear to succeed but nothing will actually get upgraded.
