Steps to follow after a Midgard upgrade

http://www.privaterra.org/blog-rg/steps-to-follow-after-a-midgard- 
upgrade.html

Here's the set of steps I follow each and every time Midgard gets  
upgraded (for some reason or another). I hope it proves useful to  
others who also have Midgard running on a Debian based system.

Prerequisite:

* Linux system that is based on Debian (Debian , Ubuntulinux, etc)
* add to Midgard debian packages to sources.list

Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list

# Midgard - Debian testing
deb http://www.midgard-project.org/debian/dists/testing/main/binary- 
i386 ./
deb-src http://www.midgard-project.org/debian/dists/testing/source ./

Update packages and upgrade them:

$ apt-get update; apt-get upgrade

Upgrade PEAR:

Now find out if there are any PEAR packages that need upgrading.

$ pear list-upgrades

If there are packages listed, then - they likely need upgrading. If  
you want to upgrade them all, then type the following:

$ pear upgrade-all

Update mysql libraries to prevent Apache Segmentation Fault

apt-get install php4-dev libmysqlclient12-dev
apt-get source -d php4
dpkg-source -x php4_x.dsc
cd php4-x/ext/mysql/
phpize
./configure —with-mysql=/usr ; make
cp .libs/mysql.so /usr/lib/php4/20020429/
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Upgrade Midgard CSS layout lable

Obtain an updated (fixed) version of the layout template at http:// 
midgard.tigris.org/source/browse/midgard/src/templates/
The latest version of the layout table should be downloaded at the  
following URL:

http://midgard.tigris.org/source/browse/*checkout*/midgard/src/ 
templates/layout-table.xml

Now move the file to the correct location so that we can install it  
with Datagard

$ cp layout-table.xml /usr/share/midgard/data
Now start Datagard

$ datagard

Select Import, then choose your midgard related database table

 From the list of items to be upgraded, make sure to select the  
layout-table

Then, log into Aegir, and apply the style. The layout to use in your  
website is "template_Simple Table Layout"

After that, invalidate output cache with http://host/midcom- cache- 
invalidate
