It's all in the UPGRADING file: [UPGRADING] These instructions are for people upgrading OTRS from "1.1" to "1.2". *) Stop all your services (e. g. rcotrs stop-force) *) Backup everything (database, Kernel/Config.pm, Kernel/Config/GenericAgent.pm, var/*) *) Make sure that you have backed up everything ,-) *) If possible try this install on a separate machine, althoug I had always only production machines to upgrade *) Install the new release (tar or RPM) *) If you use the tar: a) the otrs themes between 1.1 and 1.2 are _not_ compatible (don't us the old theme)! *) Update the database changes with: MySQL: cat $OTRS_HOME/scripts/DBUpdate-to-1.2.mysql.sql | mysql -p -f -u root otrs PostgreSQL: cat $OTRS_HOME/scripts/DBUpdate-to-1.2.postgresql.sql | psql otrs (Don't worry about the error messages, you can update all previous version with this script and in the most cases your database has already the most changes!) *) Execute $OTRS_HOME/bin/SetPermissions.sh ! *) Restart your services (e. g. rcotrs restart-force or each service manually) > Regards, > Vishal Kashyap Martin Edenhofer -- ((otrs.de)) :: OTRS GmbH :: Norsk-Data-Str. 1 :: 61352 Bad Homburg http://www.otrs.de/ :: Manage your communication! _______________________________________________ OTRS mailing list: otrs - Webpage: http://otrs.org/ Archive: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs To unsubscribe: http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs Support oder Consulting für Ihr OTRS System? => http://www.otrs.de/
