RE: MidCOM 2.3.4 Update

Here are my notes (and problems) on upgrading MidCOM to 2.3.4 on Gentoo
using the INSTALL instructions in the MidCOM-2.3.4.tar.bz2 file:

midgard-config --prefix shows that I'm using /usr/local

bunzip2 MidCOM-2.3.4.tar.bz2 and tar extract into /usr/local/src, creating a
MidCOM-2.3.4 directory. cp -r MidCOM-2.3.4/* /usr/local/midgard/midcom

The requirement for PEAR HTML_Treemenu isn't difficult in spite of there
being no emerge/ebuild for it. Just enter 'pear install HTML_Treemenu-1.2.0'
and it installs itself, like this:
pear install HTML_TreeMenu-1.2.0
downloading HTML_TreeMenu-1.2.0.tgz ...
Starting to download HTML_TreeMenu-1.2.0.tgz (48,309 bytes)
.............done: 48,309 bytes
install ok: HTML_TreeMenu 1.2.0

The directions to create the symbolic link didn't work for me if I followed
the directions exactly:
ln -s static /var/local/lib/midgard/vhosts/<FQDN>/80/midcom-static/
ln: creating symbolic link
`/var/local/lib/midgard/vhosts/<FQDN>/80/midcom-static/' to `static': No
such file or directory

# ln -s static /var/local/lib/midgard/vhosts/<FQDN>/80/midcom-static
The command line above works (just remove the training slash from the
original instructions.)

If repligard gives you a login error, remember to update repligard.conf with
whatever you set the admin password to in MySQL.

Now I create a new company and website and try to set the Site Setting for
localization to 'en-us' and I get the same problems listed below from the
previous messages.

How can I verify that the version 2.3.4 of MidCOM is being used? I had
previously thought I upgraded to 2.2.1, but it apparently didn't work due to
an undetected error on my part. I do see it reporting MidCOM 1.4.0 at the
bottom of the page, so I suspect my update was not successful.

Also, I need clarifications on these instructions:
  Updating MidCOM Template sites from Database MidCOM:
  ----------------------------------------------------

  Do the same steps as above.

  Now your site should run with fs-midcom. To ensure this (if in doubt), you
  should rename the top-level snippet dirs "midcom", "de", "net" and "pl" to
  something like "midcom_old" etc. Note, that you might not have all of
these.

Is this referring to the files under /usr/local/midgard/midcom/lib ?

Thanks again,
Alan

Ok. For a start. This is not Midcom 2.2.x what you are using. This is still
a
pre 2.x database MidCOM as you include the snippet /midcom/midcom instead of
the
file midcom.php from the FS distribution.

I would suggest that you upgrade to the 2.3.4 release I made yesterday. This
is
almost (99,999%) what gets to be 2.4.0 along with the midcom template
bundled
with it. Then try again using it.


Live long and Prosper!
