Migration Update

Upgrading Hashtopolis

Upgrading from 0.10.0 or newer

With version 0.10.0 an automatic upgrade procedure was introduced. There are two ways of upgrading:

• If you have the source on the web server still running as a git repository, you can simply retrieve the updates with git pull (or checkout if you need to switch a branch).
• If you used the bundled zip to deploy Hashtopolis, you can just download the newer bundled version and copy all the files to the existing directory. As there are not any changes during the installation to files which are in the bundle (e.g. conf.php), you can simply overwrite all the existing source files.

After updating the source you can simply load the normal Hashtopolis page and it will automatically determine which upgrades on the database need to be executed and will notify you about the upgrade.

NOTE:

• If you didn't use either a direct git repository which is still intact or the bundled version, you have to run the upgrade scripts still manually as it was for older versions.
• During the upgrade, it is recommended to stop all agents completely, to avoid any request being made to the server. Otherwise one of these requests may trigger the update already and in case of errors, it will not be visible to the user.

Upgrading from 0.9.0 or older

Starting from version 0.2.0-beta we provide upgrade scripts (located in the install/updates/ folder) so later you can easily upgrade your Hashtopolis installation by just pulling updates from the repository and then run the provided upgrade scripts to apply changes in the DB structure or content.

Important: You need to run all update scripts starting from the old version number up to the newest version which you checked out.
