Hi Steve,
this is not a problem :)
I assume your measureit installation is in /web/measureit
So stop the grabber. Change to /web and move the old one: mv measureit measureit_old
Change to user web: su - web
Create measureit directory: mkdir measureit
Then you can checkout measureit from git
git clone git://
github.com/lalelunet/measureit.gitnow you should have all measureit files in the directory.
Make sure the webserver points to the measureit_public_html directory as root directory. If not change it and restart the webserver
web-root /web/measureit/measureit_public_html
The grabber is now in the /web/measureit/measureit_system_files directory. So if your grabber starts with init.d or is controlled with supervise you had to change the path of the grabber.
If you change f.e. the config file you can create a git ignore file. There is currently no readme online. I had to test this out what happens and document this.
