Upgrading from v0.8 to latest v1.0

Hi,
I want to upgrade from my v0.8 to v1.0 the latest stable one. Are there any things particularly to keep in mind before i do the upgrade?
Also how to i upgrade form 0.8 to 1.0? is it the normal process of upload and load the index file and i get an option to do a fresh install or an upgrade?
I have nearly 4000 items on my blog, using it as a news system just like digg. so i don't want to lose anything.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers

Hi!
The most important thing is to create a backup of Files and SQL before you upgrade. then everything else is easy and can be done as outlined in the
www.s9y.org FAQ.
Also how to i upgrade form 0.8 to 1.0? is it the normal process of upload and load the index file and i get an option to do a fresh install or an upgrade?
Exactly!
Best regards,
Garvin

Are there any extra specific technical requirements my server should have to complete the upgrade successfully?

Hi!
If serendipity 0.8 runs well on your server, so should 1.0.

Nooooo!!

I finally decided to upgrade .. It all looks so simple when reading the FAQs .. but now ... well take a look at
http://blog.thingsdesigner.com/index.php
I do not see the upgrade option in the admin module .. what I DO see, is above the admin panel the following :
if (isset($_SESSION['serendipityEmail'])) { $serendipity['email'] = $_SESSION['serendipityEmail']; } serendipity_plugin_api::hook_event('frontend_configure', $serendipity); /* vim: set sts=4 ts=4 expandtab : */
and below the 'frame' :

f (!isset($serendipity['GET']['adminModule'])) { $serendipity['GET']['adminModule'] = (isset($serendipity['POST']['adminModule']) ? $serendipity['POST']['adminModule'] : ''); } serendipity_checkXSRF(); switch($serendipity['GET']['adminModule']) { case 'installer': case 'configuration': if (!serendipity_checkPermission('siteConfiguration') && !serendipity_checkPermission('blogConfiguration')) { break; } include S9Y_INCLUDE_PATH .

here's my serendipity_config_local.inc.php
$serendipity['versionInstalled'] = '0.8-beta4';
$serendipity['dbName'] = 'SOMEDBNAME';
$serendipity['dbPrefix'] = 'serendipity_';
$serendipity['dbHost'] = 'localhost';
$serendipity['dbUser'] = 'SOMEUSER';
$serendipity['dbPass'] = 'SOMEPASSWD';
$serendipity['dbType'] = 'mysql';
$serendipity['dbPersistent'] = false;

Hi!
If you see PHP code as HTML output it means that your FTP upload was garbaged and files are corrupt. Please re-upload the serendipity release files again and check for their validity!

Did you check the permissions?

Hi!
That's no problem. "///////////////////" is the same like "/".

Ah, safe_mode. How long will you continue to destroy the functioning of perfectly good scripts?
Searching this forum for safe_mode will give you some idea of what you're up against. The big problem is that your server believes SPARTACUS is not allowed to create directories and write files. Changing the directory permissions to match the webserver will get you past this. But the media gallery won't work in safe_mode.
Try talking your provider into turning off safe_mode.
Nightmares? Upgrading

Looking at some of the comments, I think I'll keep my 8.4 version until I have some time to look it over. Love your Mozilla theme Garvin ...
