First of all get the new version of the code source.
++ Download archive from the download site ++
Versions are available at this [address http://www.peacefrogs.net/download/chimere/].
Take care of getting the last version in the desired X.Y branch (for instance
the last version for the 1.0 branch is version 1.0.2 as the time of writing of

# git checkout v1.0.2
# cd ..
# mv chimere /var/local/dgango/chimere-1.0
# cd /var/local/dgango/chimere-1.0
```
+ Copy files from your old installation +
From your old installation at least copy "settings.py" and the content of
"static/icons/" and "static/upload/" to the new installation.
You have probably customised some styles and templates (for instance
"styles.css", "welcome.html" and "base_user.html") don't forget to copy them and
eventualy adapt them (if you have old vanilla version of this file comparing
with the new one provided is easier).
+ Adapt settings.py +
The format of settings.py could have evolved, the easiest way to complete your
settings.py is to compare your old settings.py.example and the new one provided.
++ Specific to upgrade from version 1.0 to version 1.1 ++
Version 1.1 of Chimère uses Django 1.2 and with it the manner to define database
has changed.
Old way to define your database is:
```
DATABASE_ENGINE = 'postgresql_psycopg2'
DATABASE_NAME = 'chimere'
DATABASE_USER = 'chimere-user'
DATABASE_PASSWORD = 'password'
DATABASE_HOST = 'localhost'
DATABASE_PORT = ''
```
The new one looks like:
```
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'NAME': 'ratatouille',
'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '5432',
'USER': 'chimere-user',
'PASSWORD': 'password',
},
}
```
Be careful to adapt properly your settings.py
+ Run migration scripts +
Migration scripts test your installation before making changes so you probably
won't have any lost but by precaution before running theses scripts don't forget
to backup your database.
You can also make a copy of your current database into a new database and make
the new installation to this new database.
If you run the migration scripts in a production environnement stop the old
instance of Chimère before executing the migration script. Perhaps prepare the
web server to point to the new installation before doing the database upgrade
(cf. next paragraph).
In "settings.py" verify that "chimere.scripts" is in the INSTALLED_APPS.
After that in the chimere directory just execute the script:
```
$ python ./scripts/upgrade
```
+ Point to the new installation +
Most of the job is done. You'll just have to configure your web server to serve
the new version.
For instance for Apache the directive is changed from:
```
PythonPath "['/var/local/django/chimere/'] + sys.path"
```
To:
```
PythonPath "['/var/local/django/chimere-1.0.2/'] + sys.path"
```
Restart your web server and apart from web browser cache issues this should work.
+ Force the upgrade of visitor's web browser cache +
If major changes in the javascript has be done between version, many of your
users could experience problems. There are many tricks to force the refresh
of their cache. One of them is to change the location of statics files. To do
that edit your settings.py and change:
```
MEDIA_ROOT = ROOT_PATH + 'static/'
MEDIA_URL = '/' + EXTRA_URL + 'static/'
```
To:
```
MEDIA_ROOT = ROOT_PATH + 'static/v1.0.2/'
MEDIA_URL = '/' + EXTRA_URL + 'static/v1.0.2/'
```
Then in the static directory:
```
$ ln -s `pwd` v1.0.2
```
Restart the web server to apply changes.
