Hi,

the automatical updateprocess on a drupal page reports that the update of openchurch can not be processed becaus of missing of a *.info file.

i looked at the package at http://drupal.org/node/1595336
(openchurch-7.x-1.10-alpha3-core.tar.gz,
openchurch-7.x-1.10-alpha3-core.zip,
openchurch-7.x-1.10-alpha3-no-core.tar.gz,
openchurch-7.x-1.10-alpha3-no-core.zip) and there is no .inof file.

when i look into openchurch-7.x-1.10-alpha3.tar.gz or openchurch-7.x-1.10-alpha3.zip - the .info file is there.

is the automatic updater becoming the wrong package or is it missing in the other packages?
What to do next for me?

greets

tom

Oh okay I don't think you are installing this correctly. OpenChurch is an install profile and comes with the full Drupal install files. You would not download it with the automatic updater. With OpenChurch you are going to install it with a blank database just like you would a normal Drupal site. When you go to /install.php you just select OpenChurch install of 'standard' or 'minimal'. Hope that helps.

Going to mark this as 'user error', let me know if you have more information

So does this mean you can't update OpenChurch once it is installed? What about security updates? Is the expectation that I would backup the database, reinstall Drupal from scratch, and then restore the DB?

You would re-download the whole package and replace it. The only thing you keep is your sites folder. That ensures maximum compatibility.

You would do the following:

a) Back up your db
b) Test on a dev/local environment
c) Re-download and unpack OpenChurch
d) Replace the OC sites folder with your own
e) Run update.php
f) Clear all caches
g) Test!

If you run Aegir all of this is easier, we have OC premium hosting on Aegir, and there you just tell Aegir to switch a site from 1 platform to the other.
