Checklist for upgrading production servers to 2.8

Sites to be upgraded on damocles.met.no:

damocles (owns damocles_metadata and damocles_userbase)

dokipy

ipycoord

gcwdemo

Other sites:

arcticdata (separate server)

Phase 1. Preparation

Site configuration

This should ideally be setup via https://svn.met.no/projects/metamodapps/, but will take too long to figure out. Instead will use existing generated master_config as starting point and backmerge changes to svn later. Custom styles ignored at this point - must be added later.

Must be repeated for each site.

Metamod source

checkout to /metno/metamod/metamod28/trunk as root

chown to damocles (needed for building)

Phase 2. Setting up new database

Only done once.

which xml files should be used to populate the DB?

/metno/metamod/damocles/webrun/XML/DAMOC ?

Phase 3. Setting up prototype

This will setup a generic Metamod 2.8 instance to test the system is running. Customization will be done afterwards, and the installation re-run.

Must be repeated for each site.

Generate target

Test Catalyst

Apache configuration

Install services

Do not run install_jobs.sh; instead install links manually.

Phase 4. Adding custom functions and styling

Todo by someone else (have no idea what is required and how to implement it).

Must be repeated for each site.
