Hi!
I'm going to upgrade my Mercury 1.0 to 1.1 version. When I first installed (on Linode.com) v1.0 I choose Ubuntu 9.X so now I prefer to import my old Mercury site to a new Mercury installation (on another Linode). So I have a few questions:

  1. Following 1.1v installation instructions:
    Should I install the Mercury profile and then try to import the site or stop after the step #11 (Run the Mercury Init Hudson job) and copy my files to sites directory and create the database?
  2. I know there is a import_site script available on Hudson, Is there available any directions to use it?
  3. What is the file vhost inside mercury/templates/? If I create a new vhost should I edit vhost file instead default file on sites-available?

Thank you in advance and Happy Holidays.

Mercury 1.1 doesn't have site import - that wasn't added until 1.2 (which at the moment isn't available on non-getpantheon.com servers).

I would go all the way through step #12, then take a look at the apache solr, performance and modules pages and write down the options. Them delete the new DB, create a new one and import your existing into it. And when copying your files over, make sure to backup (or not overwrite) your settings.php file.

The vhosts file in mercury/templates/ is used to create the vhosts file, but not update the vhosts file (ie, BCFG2 will not overwrite changes you've made to the real vhosts file). So, just edit the real one and ignore the one in mercury/templates/.

Hope this helps,

Greg
