Upgrade or Re-Install ?

Hello. I want to ask you the follow question:

A four o five months a go, I downloaded mojoportal. Then, I added to it, my own web pages, the stored procedures, the types, etc. Of course test data too. Now, I want to place this site in production. And of course, the pass of time  continues. Then, I want to know if rather than to do an upgrade of the old version, of mojoportal, can I do just add my web pages and all other things to the new version?. This will work fine?. May be work right ?. The version worked is with postgresql. I have database and source code. Then, after I added my code to the new version of mojoportal and compile and deploy, all must be work fine? Is this truth ?.

And last things: Are any dependence between mojoportal -last version- with any version of mono into linux?

Thanks in advance...

Re: Upgrade or Re-Install ?

If it were me I would start with the newer version of mojoportal and add your code. I would keep a copy of what you have now in case you run into problems you can just deploy what you already have working.

If you have a version of mojoportal that is working on mono, the new version of mojoportal should also work fine on the same mono that you already have.

If you upgrade mono it is possible that something will break because of regressions in mono not because of mojoportal. I have not tested release versions of mono lately so you should do your own testing on a different machine if you want to upgrade mono also.

I would not do an upgrade of mojoportal and an upgrade of mono at the same time.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Remember also that the 2.x version of mojoportal currently does NOT WORK WITH MONO

only the 1.x version of mojoportal is good for mono at this time

Just wanted to make sure that is clear.

Re: Upgrade or Re-Install ?

Also since you are working with source code I would get the code using TortoiseSVN from trunk which is the mono version of mojoportal

See the tutorial here http://www.mojoportal.com/tortoisesvn.aspx

Then you can add your own files to the solution and periodically you can do svn update to get new code, it will not overwrite your own files. Of course always backup to be safe.
