Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade from 1.73 to 1.82 seemlessly, so I want to run 1.82 for a
while without replacing 1.73. I've followed the instructions for doing this
with an SVN version (http://doc.freevo.org/SourceSVNInstallation) but am having
problems getting things working. I installed to a local directory:
>python setup.py install --prefix=~/freevo-1.82
then created a second .freevo directory for 1.82:
>cd ~;mv .freevo .freevo_1.73
>cp -r .freevo_1.73 .freevo_1.82
>ln -s .freevo_1.82 .freevo
and told python to use the local freevo files
>export PYTHONPATH=~/freevo-1.82/lib/python2.5/site-packages
(which exists and contains freevo)
finally, I upgraded the freevo config file to 1.82:
>cd ~/freevo-1.82
>cp /etc/freevo/freevo.conf .
>./bin/freevo convert_config ~/.freevo/local_conf.py -w
(run without the -w to see the changes first).
However, when I try to run freevo I get some notes and freevo just dies:
>./bin/freevo
trying "/var/log/freevo"...
trying "/var/lib/freevo"...
<freevo just stops here>
The log is not informative, but its included below (it is the same with freevo
run with freevo --trace).
Obviously I'm doing something wrong and I suspect its setting up the
environment for the new version. Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers
Dan
the log:
cat ~/.freevo/log/main-1002.log

PS For information, downgrading is at least easy:
> cd ~;rm .freevo;ln -s .freevo_1.73 .freevo;export PYTHONPATH="";
and freevo 1.73 is working smoothly again.
