Upgrading to RC3 from version...??

[robmorin]

I would like to upgrade to RC3, however for some reason my control panel says its 1.0.0 RC3 already? Bottom left hand of the panel once logged in

But i have not upgraded in over 6 months... how can i tell what my real version is, and or do is it a problem if i just upgrade? or is there anything special i have to do, IE , new tables/fields etc....

Thanks...

What the panel says is not correct. You should know what you have downloaded 6 months ago.
If it was a nightly build or a SVN checkout, updating with the update-script will not work in all probability. A manual update will be very difficult.

I do not think i am the only one that does not know what version they have running as 6 months ago until now is a long time, especially if i work on other stuff other than Omega, we are a large SP, we have things to do other than do daily workings on Omega, if anything there should be a version number in whatever version is downloaded....

So basically your saying that upgrading from one RC to another is so different that it will make it very difficult? I find that hard to believe... and even if so, it has to be done... so thats why i was asking if there were any new tables and stuff, or can i just copy over the /var/www/ispcp dir once rebuilt...

Thanks...

you also have to copy the tpl Files from /parts. Then make a rebuilt configs. maybe it works.

What i have done in the past was to build it as usual without the mysql part and once the files are dumped into /tmp i use to just copy over the /var/www/ispcp would this method still work? Thats why i was asking if there have been any table or field changes and or how to i tell what version i have??

Thanks for your reply..

No. There where changes in the config-templates (as GOOvER said, but not only in the parts-directory) and other config-changes which are applied only during install (e.g. logrotate). Perhaps there where also changes in the database. Perhaps also your last updates were not complete, because you only updated /var/www/ispcp.
I don't want to discourage you, but I don't think your update will work.

OK so i think there were docs on how to upgrade somewhere? or were there?

as i forget... if you remember please show me a URL to go to ... thanks...

Hi

the manual upgrade works - it's the way as described in the nightly-update-howto.

You also sshould replace the parts/*.tpl files, then maybe you need to adopt some other configuration files (cron.d/ispcp, maybe logrotate.d/ispcp, ispcp/ispcp.conf etc). and then rebuild all domains - then you should be uptodate.

BUT: always backup before... - without brain you'll loose!

Yes, as joxi said! This works. I did it last weekend on our Server
Dont forget AWStats if you want to use it. There is also someting to do.
