Hi Erik, Erik Bigelow wrote:> I looked at the FAQ and did a search, > but couldn''t find anything.

If you want to move to the newest version of IR there are two easy options. Which one you choose will depend.... 1) If you want to be able, should you experience a problem with your application in the new version of IR, to verify that it''s an IR problem rather than a problem with your app, then simply rename your current IR directory and unzip the new one. I personally use this approach. I have IR directories named InstantRails-1.0, InstantRails-1.1, and InstantRails-1.3. When I run into a problem with my app, before I start calling it a bug in IR, I copy the app directory to the prior version and see if it still occurs or if it disappears. 2) If you just want to move to the latest version, copy any directories under /rails_apps that you want to save out of the way, delete that IR directory, and then copy your app directory (ies) back in. You''ll have to recreate the databases for those apps, but other than that, you''ll pick up right where you left off. hth, Bill
Since InstantRails installs to a self contained directory you really don''t need to uninstall anything. You can simply unpack the latest version to a new directory and get started. I currently have four versions installed on my machine mainly because I haven''t gotten around to deleting the old ones yet. After unpacking a version I always rename the directory to include the version number so I know exactly which one it is (i.e. c:\InstantRails-1.3 ). Then you can run the InstantRails.exe file to have it generate the correct config settings. Once the new version is installed you can then migrate your stuff to the new version by following the upgrade instructions http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?How_To_Upgrade The only other thing you may need to change would be any path changes you setup that point to the old directory if you always want to run the latest. --Bill ________________________________ From: instantrails-users-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:instantrails-users-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Erik Bigelow Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 9:55 AM To: curt at hibbs.com; instantrails-users at rubyforge.org Subject: [Instantrails-users] uninstall steps?
