10. Rebuild the database. For MySQL, go to your Laconica directory and
run the rebuilddb.sh script like this:
./scripts/rebuilddb.sh rootuser rootpassword database db/laconica.sql
./scripts/rebuilddb.sh rootuser rootpassword database db/laconica.sql
Here, rootuser and rootpassword are the username and password for a
user who can drop and create databases as well as tables; typically
that's _not_ the user Laconica runs as.
11. Use mysql client to log into your database and make sure that the
notice, user, profile, subscription etc. tables are non-empty.

For PostgreSQL databases there is an equivalent, rebuilddb_psql.sh,
which operates slightly differently. Read the documentation in that
script before running it.

12. Turn back on the Web server, and check that things still work.
13. Turn back on XMPP bots and email maildaemon. Note that the XMPP
bots have changed since version 0.5; see above for details.

# Do not run this script until you have read and understood the information

# This script is used to upgrade Laconica's PostgreSQL database to the
# latest version. It does the following:
#
# 1. Dumps the existing data to /tmp/rebuilddb_psql.sql
# 2. Clears out the objects (tables, etc) in the database schema
# 3. Reconstructs the database schema using the latest script
# 4. Restores the data dumped in step 1
#
# You MUST run this script as the 'postgres' user.
# You MUST be able to write to /tmp/rebuilddb_psql.sql
# You MUST specify the laconica database user and database name on the
# command line, e.g. ./rebuilddb_psql.sh myuser mydbname
