====== Upgrade TODO List ======


====== Original System Changes ======

===== Partition Layout =====


Original hard drive partitioning scheme.

david@archon:~$ df -h

/dev/hda1             7.5G  6.4G  1.1G  86% /

10.0.0.3:/linuxhome   592G  271G  321G  46% /mnt/nfs/vault/linuxhome
</code>

**NOTE:**  So vault and mirror, mirror each other daily.

===== Early Steps =====

  - Installed the Slackware 13.0 x64 DVD on the drive using the same partition scheme as before (making var twice as bit)
  - Disabled sendmail so we won't get clobbered.
  - Installed slap-get
    - Make SOURCE=http://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub/slackware/slackware64-13.0/:PREFERRED
    - --update and --upgrade
    - kernel was: Linux archon 2.6.29.6 #2 SMP Mon Aug 17 11:58:18 CDT 2009 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 240 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
    - lilo
    - reboot
    - kernel is: Linux archon 2.6.29.6 #3 SMP Mon Dec 7 15:01:06 CST 2009 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 240 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

===== Hard Drive Mirror =====

  - Mounted the old drive in **/mnt/old/** with /home, /nofadz, /root, and /var
  - **rsync**'d each directory to their new homes.
    - The /root and /var were put in /var/local
    - /usr/local/archon is a symlink to /var/local


====== Configuration ======

===== Backups =====

===== Cron Jobs =====

====== Daemons ======

===== Apache =====

  - Changed **ServerAdmin** directive
  - Enabled the following line at the bottom of **httpd.conf**:  <code>
# Virtual hosts
Include /etc/httpd/extra/archon-httpd-vhosts.conf
</code>

==== Moving Websites ====

  - Copying everything to the new **httpd** directory. <code>
rsync -vaP /usr/local/archon/var/www/htdocs/hosted/ /var/www/htdocs/hosted/
rsync -vaP /usr/local/archon/var/www/htdocs/locals/ /var/www/htdocs/locals/
rsync -vaP /usr/local/archon/var/www/htdocs/secure/ /var/www/htdocs/secure/
</code>
  - Add our common log file definition so we don't have to comment that out of all the virtual host definitions.
  - 

==== Gallery Software ====

  * [[http://coppermine-gallery.net/]] Coppermine Gallery looks to be a good software set for putting up images.

==== dokuwiki ====

=== latest upgrade ===

 --- //[[david@lattice.net|David Lloyd Rabine]] 2012/12/06 17:30//

All of this done as root:

  * move the directory to your unzip path <code>
cd /home/david/public_html
mv wiki dokuwiki-2012-10-13
tar -zxvf dokuwiki-2012-10-13.tgz
</code>
  * rm the install.php <code>
rm dokuwiki-2012-10-13/install.php
</code>
  * set permissions properly <code>
chgrp -R apache dokuwiki-2012-10-13/conf/
chmod -R g+w dokuwiki-2012-10-13/conf/
chgrp -R apache dokuwiki-2012-10-13/data/
chmod -R g+w dokuwiki-2012-10-13/data/
</code>
  * move the wiki back <code>
mv dokuwiki-2012-10-13 wiki
</code>
  * clear the cache <code>
touch wiki/conf/local.php
</code>

=== upgrade ===

  - Make a backup of the current wiki <code>
mkdir ~/public_html/wikibackups/20110612
rsync -vaP ~/public_html/wiki/ ~/public_html/wikibackups/20110612/
</code>
  - Download the latest version <code>
cd ~/down/dokuwiki/
</code>
  - Uncompress the latest version right on top of the current one <code>
cd ~/public_html/wiki
tar -xzvf ~/down/dokuwiki/dokuwiki-xxxx-xx-xx.tgz --strip-components=1
</code>
  - Remove the "install" page <code>
rm ~/public_html/wiki/install.php
</code>
  - Touch the local configuration (which invalidates your cache) <code>
touch ~/public_html/wiki/conf/local.php
</code>
  - Remove files as directed.  I have my permissions set wrong so had to sudo this to make it happen.  Paste the list of files, and use the shell commands provided to remove the extra files.
===== mysql =====

  - Should have exported the entire data base first.  I'll boot it on another machine and do it to a memory stick.

===== Sendmail =====

I always wanted to set up authentication so I can SEND via sendmail from my local account.  Here is the link on how to do that:  
  * [[http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/sendmail-smtp-auth-howto-224543/]]

====== Hardware ======

===== Hard Drive =====

Nope, the new drive is a PATA (Old standard IDE drive) because I already used my SATA slots for other drives in this Opteron original machine.  It is really time for a new machine, but not yet...

  * Primary (**/dev/hda**) hard drive is a Best Buy from Baltimore:
    * WDC WD3200AAJB-00J3A0, ATA DISK drive

  * <del>New primary drive is a Western Digital 640GB (with 32MB cache) SATA-2</del>


====== Software ======

===== 32bit Compatibility Libraries =====

In order for the Never Winter Server (and any other 32 bit software) to run on this new machine, I had to follow the steps in this article: [[http://alien.slackbook.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=slackware:multilib]]

Following the instructions, I went ahead and did the following:
  - Download the multilib libraries:  <code>
wget --mirror http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/multilib/13.0/
</code>
  - Install these packages:  <code>
upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new *.t?z
</code>
  - Downloaded the ISO of 32bit Slackware 13.0 and mounted the image as a looped image:  <code>
mount -o loop /home/david/temp-dvd/slackware-13.0-install-dvd.iso /mnt/tmp
</code>
  - Create the compatbility libraries using the **massconvert32.sh** script: (I did this in **/home/compat32**)<code>
massconvert32.sh -i /mnt/tmp/slackware/
</code>
  - Install these new libraries:  <code>
installpkg *-compat32/*.t?z
</code>
