There are significant changes to the database schema in this new version of the software. Existing databases must be migrated to v5 using the migration script. Here are the steps:

1. Backup the current database

mysqlhotcopy --port=XXXX -u XXXXXX -p XXXXXX coge_db backup_dir 

2. Update the code

cd CoGeX ; svn update cd CoGe_web ; svn update cd /opt/apache/CoGe ; svn update 

3. Run the migration script on the database

perl CoGeX/scripts/migrate_coge5.pl -db=coge_db -u=XXXXXX -pw=XXXXXX 

The migration script takes ~2 minutes to run.

4. Restart mysql

sudo service mysql restart
