Upgrade guide
From PeopleAggregator
Important note: the upgrade code in release prior to r7 (2006-07-26) is broken; if you want to update from earlier versions (e.g. the ones on memory keys handed out at Gnomedex 2006), see this blog post for details.

To upgrade your PeopleAggregator:
[edit] If you installed from a tarball (automatic update)
- Browse to (install root)/update/system_update.php, e.g.:
http://my-peopleaggregator.org/update/system_update.php
- Enter the admin password (it's in local_config.php, if you don't remember it).
- Click 'check for updates'.
- If you need to make some files or directories writable, do so.
- Click 'apply this update' if everything looks OK.
- If you have files with conflicting changes, you might want to look at Partially upgrading using the auto-updater.
[edit] If you installed from a tarball (manual update)
This is more work than the auto-update (above), so try that first. If you really can't get it to work, try this way :-)
- Back up your installation.
- Download the latest release from http://update.peopleaggregator.org/ (links under option #1).
- Unpack it over the top of your old installation, taking care that all directories that should be writable (listed in the installation guide) are still writable.
- Go into your installation root, and run:
php web/update/run_scripts.php
[edit] If you installed via Subversion
- Go into the root directory of your install and run:
svn update
- Fix any conflicts, then run:
php web/update/run_scripts.php
