Upgrading Kunena
Upgrading a live website is not something to be undertaken lightly so please read the Upgrade Instructions carefully. We are constantly working on improving the functionality for upgrading existing Kunena installations. Significant development resources have been commited to define a well integrated install and upgrade procedure that is heavily automated, to minimize the possibility of user error.
For a full upgrade instruction have a look at the readme.txt in the file repository or Kunena_1.0.11_Read_Me .
The overall procedure is:
- Duplicate your live site to a test site.
- Do the upgrade on your test site.
- Backup your live site (database and files).
- Upgrade you live site.
The detail procedure is:
- Make a copy of your live site.
- Uninstall the previous Kunena Forum on the copy of your live site.
- Install the new Kunena Forum version on the copy of your live site.
- Test it thoroughly.
- Take your site offline and backup your live site.
- Uninstall the previous Kunena Forum on your live site.
- Install the new Kunena Forum version on your live site.
- Open the menuitem pointing to Kunena in the menu manager and save, to update itemID.
- Make any other changes required and put your site online again.
- Check your live site to make sure it is working correctly.
Further details
Kunena is installed and uninstalled by using the Joomla installer. Install is done by entering the URL into the URL field in the installer (recommended), or optionally, uploading the component package file.
The procedure above refer to the terms "test site" and "live site", some words about the purpose of a test site:
Test site: This copy will be the version you use for testing purposes. You can transplant it to a local testbed like WAMP or remote testing environment in a different directory on your server. The backup itself can be done manually by copying your entire Joomla directory from the server and exporting your database via phpmyadmin. This can also be accomplished by using a backup extension, like JoomlaPack or other.
If you have any questions before, during, or after the upgrade then please ask them on the appropriate upgrade forum.
For Kunena 1.0.9 build 1231, dated 2009-04-03, make sure that announcements are enabled to avoid the smiley class bug.
