Hi - I see that there is a new version of Mediacore CE 0.10.x.
My previous install of Mediacore CE 0.9.4 is very new, not much to it. So, the question I pose is as follows. I don't need to upgrade, I can just install the new version.
What is the easiest way to do this?
Thanks - Glen
Hmm, not sure what you mean exactly. Upgrading vs. a new install shouldn't be a big difference. Of course with a new install you can leave your old install intact so a rollback would be easier.
The general upgrade/install process is described in the docs so I'm not sure what help you need. Maybe you can add a bit more detail to your question?
Okay - I have a Mediacore CE 0.9.4 install and I want to completely remove it. It's a very new install, no real content, just test content. So, I just want to do a complete removal.
Once the removal is complete, I will do a new install of Mediacore CE 0.10.x. I just want to make the server clean as I want to make sure the client does not think I'm careless or not taking pride.
So, I want to remove (completely) my Mediacore CE 0.9.4 and then install Mediacore CE 0.10.x. Do I make sense?

Well in that case, just move all the old folders away (or delete them), get MediaCore 0.10 (for example through git or from the linked tar.gz file on the download page) and basically do the same you did already for the first install.
In the new docs for 0.10 I documented a setup where the 'data' folder is external to the MediaCore source code. This helps because you never modify any file inside the source folder (simple upgrades, multi-instance hosting from a single source, clear separation between user data and code).
I was going to do that, but I wanted to ask the 'local expert' first just to make sure I did not have an even bigger mess that when I started!
Thanks much Mr Felix Schwartz - you are a very big help with lots of patience to someone like myself who has never used this product before.
