Fun with 2.3

Installing Ryan's branch of 2.3 on localhost, then moving it to the Cloud.

2.3 localhost installation:

1. Download the .zip from https://github.com/rthrash/revolution
2. Unzip it in your localhost web space.
3. Create a database. Make a note of username, password, database name.
4. Edit the four sample build files in the _build directory. Use your localhost paths and the database info for the database you created. Save them without the sample part in their filenames.
5. Run the transport.core.php file in your browser.
6. Install as usual, using setup. Don't remove the setup folder at the end. Make sure it's working as expected.
7. Dump the database and zip up the installation (you can get rid of the _build directory).

To the Cloud:

1. Create a new dev Cloud. Make a note of its database connection information.
2. Install phpMyAdmin
3. Log in via ssh and delete all the MDOx files (leave the phpmyadmin folder).
4. Use scp or sftp to upload your zipped 2.3 files.
5. Using the ssh command line, unzip your 2.3 archive and move the files to the web root.
6. Delete the directories in the core/cache/ directory (you could do this on localhost before you zip it up).
7. Log in to your phpmyadmin and drop all the tables.
8. Import the database dump you made.
9. Run setup using the Advanced Upgrade Install method, using the information from the original Cloud installation's database - it's the same login as for the phpMyAdmin installation. If you prefer, you can edit the core/config/config.inc.php file and the three config.core.php files (root, connectors and manger). Change the paths and the database connection information. The paths will be something like /paas/c000/www/core/

What is the ETA for 2.3?

Never mind, I found it.

Revolution-2.3.0-rc-1
Due in 1 day (07/16/2013)

http://tracker.modx.com/projects/revo/roadmap

That's for the regular 2.3 development branch; you can get its installation package from the "Nightlies" download link. Ryan's branch is quite different; you need to build its package before you can install it.

Are you sure that 2.3 is released tomorrow? 82 issues still open according to that URL.

I doubt it will be released now; that was just a target date.

Not complaining, as I like surprises as much as the next guy, but I vote that the roadmap issue list thingy is updated more accurately.

2.3 could appear at absolutely any time between yesterday and Christmas, but there's no guarantee it'll progress beyond 17% completion until it's done.

WTF??? Ryan's repository has vanished!

The link above includes the full stop. Is this the one you mean? https://github.com/rthrash/revolution [ed. note: davidpede last edited this post 13 years, 3 months ago.]

Make sure if you're playing around with my fork that you're using the develop branch: https://github.com/rthrash/revolution/tree/develop/

Lots of active work occurring—and still to be done—but the groundwork and heavy lifting is pretty much done at this point. Now for the polish, cleanup and details.
