Upgrading from 1.0 and 1.0.1 to 1.0.2

Post by jfox015 »

If you downloaded Patch #2 for OOTP Fantasy Leagues Beta 1.0, you'll need to perform a manual update to enable the new automatic database and config functionality and prevent the loss of your custom league data that would be lost if you performed a full install again. If you do not perform this change, automatic updates will not be enabled from successive patches.

This process involves the following steps:
  • Download your existing constants file
  • Copying the change from the new update file
  • Saving and uploading the constants file back to the server.
Performing the update in depth

VERY IMPORTANT: Be sure to make a backup copy of your constant.php file BEFORE you perform the steps below to have a fail safe copy to use in case something goes wrong.
  • Download and extract the second patch to your local hard drive.
  • Open the local directory containing the files and locate the folder in the path ootp_fantasy -> install and open constants_upgrade.php in a text or HTML editor (but not an application like Word)
  • FTP to your web server and open the path [SERVER_ROOT} -> ootp_fantasy -> application -> config
    NOTE: Based on the setup of your server, [SERVER_ROOT} may be a path like "/var/www/html" or something else, but should be the folder path leading up to the "ootp_fantasy" folder.
  • Download the file constants.php to your local hard drive and open it in a text or HTML editor as well
  • In constants_upgrade.php, highlight and copy and paste the second line,

    Code: Select all

    define('ENV', "live");
    and paste it into the second line of your constants.php file.
  • In constants_upgrade.php,
    • locate the text:

      Code: Select all

      // 1.0.2 UPDATE BEGIN CODE TO COPY
    • highlight and copy all lines until the line

      Code: Select all

      // 1.0.2 UPDATE END CODE TO COPY
    • Paste this code into constants.php
    • Find the second occurrence of the above update code call out and repeat.
  • Save constants.php and upload it back to your web server.
  • Delete constants_upgrade.php from your local hard drive then upload the patch files to your web server, overwriting and existing files when prompted.
  • Browse to your fantasy site to confirm the changes. When logged itno the admin dashboard you should see a warning now that the install directory exists and a prompt to run a database update as well.
