Upgrades

Put site into Maintenance:

vim /etc/crontab
#0-59/1 * * * * www-data cd /path/to/web2py/ && python web2py.py -C -D 1 >> /tmp/cron.output 2>&1

vim /etc/apache/sites-available/maintenance
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteRule ^/(.*) /maintenance.html

ln -sf /etc/apache/sites-available/maintenance /etc/apache/sites-enabled/mysite
/etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload

Upgrade code:

cd /path/to/web2py/applications/eden
bzr pull

Trial run:

cd /path/to/web2py
python web2py.py -S eden -M

Fix any Database Issues:

  1. The .table files in the databases directory contains what web2py knows about your database
  2. You need to set deployment_settings.base.migrate=True in models/000_config.py before you update the code and switch back to deployment_settings.base.migrate=False later on.
  3. In case of database mismatches - check the databases directory for the appropriate .table file and change accordingly.

If using MySQL, then can use phpMyAdmin, if using SQLite then can use sqlite3 command-line tool:

Restore site into production:

vim /etc/crontab
0-59/1 * * * * www-data cd /path/to/web2py/ && python web2py.py -C -D 1 >> /tmp/cron.output 2>&1

ln -sf /etc/apache/sites-available/mysite /etc/apache/sites-enabled/mysite
/etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload
