Using SSH
SSH ("Secure SHell") is a means of establishing a secure command-line shell interface on a remote system.
On Unix / Linux you can open a secure shell with the command ssh -l <username> <host> where <username> should be replaced with your actual username and <host> by the domain name or IP address of the host to which you want to connect.
On Microsoft Windows you can use the PuTTY terminal emulator.
You will be prompted for the password associated with the username. If this is the first time you have attempted to connect to this host using SSH you will be asked to confirm the fingerprint of the host you are attempting to connect to. To exit an SSH session, type Control-D or "exit". For example, to connect to host www.mydomain.com using username "goliath" you would enter:
ssh -l goliath www.mydomain.com
Both upgrade and full release packages are meant to be unpacked in the top-level directory of your Joomla web site distribution. Before unpacking the package, change directory to the top level of your http site. For example, if your top level Joomla files are located in /var/www/htdocs, use the following Unix command to change to that directory first.
cd /var/www/htdocs
You can then extract new version files over your old joomla files:
tar xjvf Joomla_1.5.1-Stable-Full_Package.tar.bz2
Some sample MYSQL commands from the command line:
- upgrade sql via MYSQL for RC1 to RC2
> mysql -utodd -Djoomladbname -p < diff_rc1_to_rc2.sql
- no changes 2 to rc3
>
- rc3 to rc4
> mysql -utodd -Djoomladbname -p < diff_rc3_to_rc4.sql
- no changes 4 to live
>
