Slash Dot Dash

Finally got round to upgrading to Typo 4 (you may have noticed the theme changed again).

Initially I had a problem with the new Typo gem (installing on a Debian server). This was caused by the sqlite3 gem dependency and was resolved quite simply.

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.  You may need configuration options.

Requires the sqlite3 development headers, which were an apt-get command away.

apt-get install sqlite3 sqlite3-ruby libsqlite3-dev
gem install sqlite3-ruby

Install Typo 4

gem install typo
mysqldump <typo_db_name> -uusername -p > backup.sql
mv /old/blog/location /old/blog_bak
typo install /your/path

Copy over database.yml to new location (and also .htaccess file), then update the database.

rake migrate

Restart the webserver and voila.
