trying to get the "new" version of cyclos running — but what IS tthe new version…from an email exchange….
Wesley, I contacted Hugo at cyclos and asked him if they had tested the upgrade. This was his response, the only suggestion he had was to be sure that the actions.sql script is run on the database. If this does not help, I guess we just have to wait until the GPL version is released. Again, thank you for your help Mark
Well, it was of some help, maybe. On the Cyclos Downloads page, there are three links:
- http://cyclos.momomo.org/project/download/cyclos.war ("Cyclos Binary")
- http://cyclos.momomo.org/project/download/cyclos-20040908-src.zip ("Cyclos Source Code")
- http://cyclos.momomo.org/project/download/install_doc.htm (install instructions)
According to the instructions, actions.sql is in
/$CYCLOS_INSTALL_DIR/cyclos_view/WEB-INF/conf/dataBases/MySQL/
well, that folder only exists if you download and unzip the Cyclos Source Code, which I did. I ran the actions script (which really just adds but one action to the 61 currently in the database) Now we get to the fun part.
- The "cyclos.war" file that I originally loaded (and is currently in use at http://badger.uvm.edu/cyclos) is 8044039 bytes.
- The "cyclos.war" file that I downloaded from http://cyclos.momomo.org/project/download/cyclos.war on November 18 (which did NOT work) is 7828976 bytes
- The "cyclos.war" file that I downloaded from http://cyclos.momomo.org/project/download/cyclos.war on December 9 (which did NOT work) is 8057580 bytes
- and, as part of the Cyclos Source Code, in folder /$CYCLOS_INSTALL_DIR/cyclos_view/, there is a cyclos.war file of length 8986815 bytes.
This last cyclos.war file DOES work, and is currently running at http://badger.uvm.edu:8080/cyclos — but is it the "latest" ? I dunno. If you go to http://badger.uvm.edu:8080/cyclos , click on Help then About, it says http://badger.uvm.edu/cyclos But so does the "old" version.
So which is the "new" version, and where do I find it?
