Hi all,
I decided to have a quick play with some backups to see if I can get the Southampton open guide back up and running.
Looks like it's at 0.47, and the DB schema is different (this install is from when CGI::Wiki was required).
Is there a guide or reference I can use to upgrade the DB?

I might be misremembering... but I think the database schema gets auto-upgraded at the "perl Build install" point. I think you can also do it manually by running wiki-toolkit-setupdb (from the latest Wiki::Toolkit distribution) on the database.
Wiki::Toolkit is basically just CGI::Wiki renamed.

I don't think this is the case, although the Debian packages (which are better suited to handling this sort of complexity) does offer to do it for you.

This is indeed the way to do it. Make sure you run it as the system user openguides normally runs as (eg the web server user).

Many thanks, this worked first time :-) I also migrated the search from supersearch, and this seems to work fine.
Would it be possible for the DNS for southampton.openguides.org to be altered to be a CNAME for:
helix.ecs.soton.ac.uk
as it has now moved machines.
I've tested it with a local /etc/hosts change, and it's looking good :-)
I'll have to go through the templates to enable links to the JSON etc. when I get a chance too.
Best,
Dan

Sure, done (subject to our provider pushing out the new zone, and TTLs).

Hi,
Would this change apply equally well to montreal.openguides.org which is currently aliased to cortex.ecs.soton.ac.uk?
