How to: WordPress 2.3 upgrade via SVN on Mediatemple Grid Server
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
It’s about that time of the week when I am feeling invincible and somewhat foolhardy, so I decided I would bring this blog up-to date and install the current release candidate (2.3-RC1) of WordPress.
Rather than have to do a manual upgrade with every new release (even though the WordPress automatic upgrade plugin worked quite well) I thought that I would follow in the foot steps of others and set up a new WordPress installation that I could quickly upgrade using Subversion.
The steps to do this have been documented on the WordPress codex site, but I will target them towards the Mediatemple girdserver and go through the steps I took to enable this blog for subversion updates.
Note: You will need to enable ssh access on your Grid server account to follow these steps. To do that login to your Mediatemple control panel, go to the Server administrator section and scroll down the section labeled SSH option. Make sure this is set to Enabled and save your changes.
Note 2: If you are not comfortable using the command line, then I can recommend using this plugin instead.
