Freeside:4:Documentation:Upgrading

Notes

Start of 3.x to 4.x upgrade instructions.

Note that unlike most major version upgrades, a minimum version of 3.3 is needed before upgrading to 4.x. If running an earlier version, upgrade to 3.3 or later before upgrading to 4.x.

Initial cleanup

• rm -r /opt/rt3/lib #is this necessary? i think it was RT 3.8->4.0-only (freeside 2.3->3.0), because of how it moved its libs around

Freeside

• cd freeside-4.0

• make clean; make configure-rt; 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.
• make install-docs

RT

• make install-rt
• cd freeside-4.0/rt
• As the freeside UNIX user, run /opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --dba freeside --prompt-for-dba-password --action upgrade
