Synnefo

Upgrade to Synnefo v0.14.8

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Synnefo v0.14.8 release introduced support for Debian Wheezy (and Django 1.4).

To upgrade from Squeeze to Wheezy you should make sure to change the

``'ENGINE'`` option in ``/etc/synnefo/10-snf-webproject-databases.conf`` to

``'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2``. Replace ``postgresql_psycopg2``

with the DB engine you are using.

If you're upgrading to Synnefo v0.14.8 on Squeeze, you should also make sure to

have the Squezee backports repository installed, since ``snf-webproject``

depends on ``>=python-django-south-0.7.3``, which on Squeeze is only available

from the backports repository.

Since v0.14.8, Synnefo also ships an example Gunicorn configuration file, that

gets installed automatically at ``/etc/gunicorn.d/synnefo.example``.  To use it

you need to do two things:

1. Disable your old configuration file by removing it.

   [if you are upgrading from an older version and you had such a file]

2. Rename the file to ``/etc/gunicorn.d/synnefo`` to make it valid:

.. code-block:: console

    # mv /etc/gunicorn.d/synnefo.example /etc/gunicorn.d/synnefo

Finally, add any other special configuration option needed by your deployment

in this file.

.. warning:: The logging location for the Synnefo gunicorn project has changed in

 /etc/gunicorn.d/synnefo.example: The default configuration no longer stores

 logs under /var/log/gunicorn/synnefo.log, but under

 /var/log/synnefo/gunicorn.log instead, for two reasons:

 a) uniformity with the rest of Synnefo, b) the version of gunicorn included in

 Wheezy now drops privileges to www-data:www-data properly, so it can no longer

 log under /var/log/gunicorn, which is owned by root.
