/SW/business/KnowledgeTree: Upgrading KnowledgeTree

Per this link http://wiki.knowledgetree.com/Upgrading_KnowledgeTree it is exceedingly simple. Here is the way I do it (unpacking into a new directory each time, not unpacking over top of the old version):

• Unpack the new code and rename the directory with the version number, ie. kt-3.6.0
• Sym link the var directory and config/config.ini to the copy in the top level directory previously used by the old version of KnowledgeTree
• Copy over any plugins from the old KnowledgeTree to the new KnowledgeTree, for instance kt-3.5.4a/plugins/i18n/SimplifiedChinese/
• Now switch the "knowledgetree" sym link from the old version to the new version, ie. from kt-3.5.4a to kt-3.6.0

Make sure ownership is correct for the new version:

chown -R www-data:www-data kt-3.6.0/

Then bring up the login dialog, and add "setup/upgrade.php" to the end of the browser URL, for example:

https://apps.vancouversolidcomputing.com/knowledgetree/setup/upgrade.php

Click the "Next" button a hand full of times and it should just work.
