Delete the file info.pagecount and all the page counts will be returned to 0. The system will recreate the file.

Boltwire Engine Upgrade

Steps that I use to upgrade the Boltwire engine on an existing site.

First backup the original virtual hosts so that if the upgrade goes bad, I can recover back to where I was before... In this case, I do a ZFS snapshot as it is instant and easy to restore from.

Change to my source directory. In this case, it would be:

cd /nas/src/boltwire

Obtain the current version from the Boltwire site. (Example v3.3.5)

wget http://www.boltwire.com/files/boltwire3.3.5.zip .

Create a directory to hold the unzip

mkdir 3.3.5
cd 3.3.5

Unzip the source

unzip ../boltwire3.3.5.zip

Now update the virtual hosts that are using the software

cp -r boltwire /www/vhosts/site1
cp -r boltwire /www/vhosts/site2
