Freeside:1.9:Documentation:Upgrading

Upgrade instructions

• Install HTML::Widgets::SelectLayers 0.07 (or later)
• Install Authen::Passphrase
• Install Net::Domain::TLD
• New packages/modules for RT 3.6.4: libxml-rss-perl libcalendar-simple-perl libgd-graph-perl libuniversal-require-perl libgd-text-perl
• make install-perl-modules
• As the freeside UNIX user, run freeside-upgrade username, passing the username of an internal Freeside user.
• If freeside-upgrade hangs, try stopping Apache, all Freeside processes, and anything else connected to your database, especially on older PostgreSQL versions.
• Run bin/freeside-migrate-events to migrate your (deprecated) invoice events to the new billing events. Keep an eye out for anything which does not migrate.
• make configure-rt
• mv /opt/rt3/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm /opt/rt3/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm.OLD; make install-rt
• /opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --action insert --datadir rt/etc/upgrade/3.5.1
• make install-docs (or make deploy if you've got everything setup for that in the Makefile)
• You may want to check your ACLs under Configuration->Employees->View/Edit employee groups and grant some of the new rights to one or more groups.

Possible gotchas

• "RT at a glance" ("Ticketing Main") blank? Click "Edit" on the right, then click the "Reset to default" button.
• Perl module errors? Try make clean then make install-perl-modules then make install-docs or make deploy again

Random wishlist

• cust_main::retry_realtime optimization?
• Use FCKeditor for config popups for textareas.
• small_custview borders inside RT look janky
• bin/fs-migrate-events doesn't make events that apply to a single agent into agent-editable events... perhaps it should?
