This page contains instructions for a patch update (e.g. from 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
- settings.d/ folder
- 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:
- open a console and go to the installation folder (LocalSettings.php directory-level, see: right-image)
- 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
Open the page Special:Version in your Wiki and check 'BlueSpice(Credits)' see: right-image
