Re: [otrs] [OTRS] 2.4.4 to 2.4.5 shortest upgrade path..

 1. upload the new tarball to /root

I have a better method:

* cd /opt
* download the new otrs-2.4.5.tar.bz2
* ln -s otrs otrs-2.4.5
* stop apache, postfix
* tar xfj otrs-2.4.5.tar.bz2
* cd otrs
* bin/SetPermissions.pl --otrs-user=otrs --web-user=www-data 
--otrs-group=www-data --web-group=www-data /opt/otrs
* start apache, postfix

[otrs] [OTRS] 2.4.4 to 2.4.5 shortest upgrade path..

2009-10-20 Thread Sarper SARIDAL
I would like to thank the Otrs team and all the members of the group for
responding back.

Today i raised a question about the shortest way of upgrading from 2.4.4 to
2.4.5.

I did it by manually downloading the source code (the zip file of 2.4.5)

Stopping the apache server from services

getting backup of the otrs\otrs folder only

replace the new files 2.4.5

After that the apache did not start..

What i did was to restore the following files back to where they were :

20.10.2009  23:05DIR  Apache
14.07.2005  02:4616.061 apache-httpd.conf
16.04.2007  15:11   962 apache-httpd.include.conf
01.10.2009  08:59 7.469 apache-perl-startup.pl
01.10.2009  09:01 4.633 Apache.pm
20.10.2009  23:05DIR  Apache2
01.10.2009  08:59 1.410 apache2-httpd-new.include.conf
16.04.2007  15:11 1.249 apache2-httpd.include.conf
01.10.2009  08:59 7.542 apache2-perl-startup.pl

Then started it up.

It worked..  Plus i had the problem of notification events not sent to
customers issue.

That's solved too.

Thanks  Regards

Hello,

thanks for your praise, and your comments about the upgrade path. This  
is not always the fastest, or best way, but it is nice to see you  
giving back to our community.

Re: [otrs] [OTRS] 2.4.4 to 2.4.5 shortest upgrade path..

2009-10-20 Thread Hayden Katzenellenbogen
I have asked the same question (though mostly to Google) about the best
way to do a minor revision upgrade. I have had nothing but problems when
I try and just copy files from one version to another (Config.pm and zzz
files). Here is the final solution I came up with. It has worked for the
last two minor upgrades 2.4.3 - 2.4.4 and 2.4.4 - 2.4.5.

I have otrs installed in /opt. Each version is installed in its own
directory otrs-2.4.3, otrs-2.4.4 etc. I have a symlink from /opt/otrs to
the most recent version.

1. upload the new tarball to /root
2. Stop apache2 and Cron
3. delete the symnlink /opt/otrs
4. copy the current running versions directory to the new version
directory
cp -r /opt/otrs-2.4.4 /opt/otrs/2.4.5
5. unpack the new tarball
cd /opt
tar -zxvf /root/otrs-2.4.5.tar.gz
6. recreate the symlink
cd /opt
ln -s otrs-2.4.5 otrs
7. Update the permission. Make sure to use the full path and not the
symlink.
cd /opt/otrs/bin
./SetPermissions.sh /opt/otrs-2.4.y otrs www-data nogroup
www-data
8. restart apache2 and cron

The last two minor upgrades have been totally painless using the above
method. On my internal wiki I have left a place between steps 7 and 8 to
update the database. I will tackle that beast when the day comes. 

Hope this helps anyone.
