Setup:Installation Guide/Patch Update

This page is an instruction for a patch update (for example, version 4.1.x to a higher version 4.1.x+).

Back-up

Firstly, you need to make a back-up of your database

mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases > all_databases.sql

To make your code base more secure, save it to a secure location of your choice

#Linux bash
cp -r codebase your_secure_place

# Win bash
xcopy codebase your_secure_place\ /E

Renew the code base

Unzip archive (new Wiki version). Overwrite the old wiki code base with the new wiki version code.

#Linux bash
cp -r new_version_codebase old_version_codebase
rm -rf new_version_codebase

#Win bash
xcopy new_version_codebase old_version_codebase\ /E/H #path/ -  to tell xcopy that path is a directory.
rmdir new_version_codebase /Q/S

Local settings and Data

Compare Local files and some manual made settings

The following files and folders contain local changes:

• skins/ folder
• settings files
  • settings.d/ folder
    OR
    
  • all files that contain 'local.php' in settings.d/ folder
    Datei:File localMathPHP.png
• extension/BlueSpiceFoundation/config/ folder
• images/ folder
• all LocalSettings.php files
  
  

Copy from your backup Local files and some manual made settings

For a fast copy, use this bash command:

#Linux Bash
cd your_secure_place
cp -r images/ LocalSettings.* settings.d/ codebase/
cp -r /extensions/BlueSpiceFoundation/config /codebase/extensions/BlueSpiceFoundation/

#Win Bash
cd your_secure_place
for %I in (images/ LocalSettings.* settings.d/) do copy %I codebase/
for %I in (config/ data/) do copy %I codebase/extensions/BlueSpiceFoundation/

Run the update

After all preparations are done and code base is overwritten, do the following steps:

1. open a console and go to the installation folder (LocalSettings.php directory-level, see: right-image)
2. enter the following command:

   php maintenance/update.php
   

Note: If you use Linux for your BlueSpice installation, please note that the file system permissions may be lost when overwriting the code base!

Check your current Version

rechts Open the page Special:Verion in your Wiki and check 'BlueSpice(Credits)' see: right-image
