SkyBlueCanvas Upgrade Instructions

Upgrading SkyBlueCanvas is simple because all of the files that are editable are contained in a single directory: /skyblue/data/.

When you upgrade to a new version of SkyBlueCanvas, you simply need to make a copy of this directory, install the new version following the instructions on the Installation page, then copy your data file back into /skyblue/data/.

Step-by-Step

  1. Make a copy of /skyblue/data/ on your local computer
  2. Copy the new version of SkyBlueCanvas into your web root
  3. Compare /new_skyblue/data/plugins/ with your /old_skyblue/data/plugins/. Any plugins that exist in the New SkyBlue, copy to your Old SkyBlue.
  4. Delete the new /skyblue/data/ directory
  5. Move your copied /skyblue/data/ directory back into the SkyBlueCanvas root
  6. Make sure the file permissions for /skyblue/data/ are set to 755 or, if you have shell access, change the owner and group to the web process (chown -R apache:apache skyblue)
