Updating ScrewTurn Wiki (File-System)

This page describes how to update a working installation of ScrewTurn Wiki that uses the File-System Data Storage.

Note: if you are upgrading from v2, please refer to these instructions instead.

INPUT_DIR refers to the WebApplication directory supplied along this file.
TARGET_DIR refers to the directory the application will live in on your server.

Note: depending on the environment you are running, the following steps might require minor adjustments. If you made modifications to the application, the following steps might cause issues and make the application unusable and/or unstable.

1. Navigate to TARGET_DIR.
2. Backup all the content of TARGET_DIR (seriously).
3. Rename "app_online.htm" to "app_offline.htm": this will take the application offline.
4. Delete all the content of TARGET_DIR, except:
   • "public" directory
   • "web.config" file
   • "app_offline.htm" file.
5. Select all files in INPUT_DIR, except:
   • "public" directory
   • "web.config" file.
6. Copy all the selected files into TARGET_DIR.
7. Delete "app_offline.htm".
8. Navigate to the wiki using a web browser and verify that everything works properly.
9. Check for plugin updates in the administration interface.
