The quick way for a fast build (and to remove the overhead of SVN that I describe above)
After you install theTKL Magento Appliance -- proceed in Webshell(:12320)
Go to your www folder (var/www)
then issue the 1.5.1 or 1.6.1 command below
wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.5.1.0/magento-1.5.1.0....
OR
wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.6.1.0/magento-1.6.1.0....
then expand the file (do just one at a time!) so that they upgrade 1.4.2 into the correct folders.
go to
magento/var/cache .. issue command.. rm -R *
magento/var/session.. issue command. rm-R *
Then Be sure your Ownership is set up right so that Downloader (and I am sure more) will run
chown -R www-data:wwwdata /var/www/magento
run magento-cleanup.php or something similar (search the web for this).
Open the Magento Site. Takes a while but should upgrade you to a Fresh Build.
