Upgrade to Wordpress 2.8.{1,3}

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

Today I upgraded wordpress again,

All I did was upgrade wordpress via emerge (this happens automaticly when running emerge -uND world ;) ), run webapp-config -U -h blog.leipie.com -u apache -g apache -s apache wordpress 2.8.1, run CONFIG_PROTECT="/var/www/blog.leipie.com/htdocs//" etc-update and execute http://blog.leipie.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php in my browser. Et voila, it was done.
I first made a backup off my mysql data just to be sure. using tar to backup my wordpress db in /var/lib/mysql ;)

Edit: Did the same for 2.8.3 today, but this has overwritten wp-config.php :o Luckily I keep a backup…

Upgrade to Wordpress 2.7.1

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Today I finally upgraded from wordpress 2.6.5.

I just love Gentoo, for doing stuff like this. Before you start you must backup, your database and save all files that were not standard, like wp-config.php! After you have done this, it is as easy as “emerge -u wordpress” and install the new version into the webserver with “webapp-config -U -h blog.leipie.com wordpress 2.7.1“.

The only thing left is to copy back wp.config.php and run “http://blog.leipie.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php

Wonderful!

Updated wordpress to 2.6.5

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

Just updated wordpress to 2.6.5. Very easy on Gentoo, except for the fact that the people at Gentoo hate it. The feel it is unsafe and unstable…

So I noticed: The upload function is broken

blog.leipie.com as root

So,

I changed the root of the blog to blog.leipies.com/wordpress. This seems to work fine, this sub domain hard points to my ip. Now hope my router never goes down long enough for Telfort to change my ip :P

edit: it now is just blog.leipie.com :D

Breaking wordpress

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

Hey,

I broke and fixed my wordpress yesterday. It can somehow not handle leipie.com as the main url. Maybe because leipie.comframes the request, instead redirecting the page requests. Need to find out if my provider gives me a static ip, so I can hard point my domain to my ip.

It seems still a bit buggy.
