CommSy Update

Create a backup

*** It is strongly encouraged to create a backup of both, your web data and your database!***

Download the new version

Start by downloading the new version from Sourceforge. The latest version is always available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/commsy/files/latest/download. Extract the archive and upload it to your LAMP environment near to the current CommSy version.

Notice: Do not overwrite your current installation of CommSy.

It is always a good idea to use symlinks pointing to the current commsy version like this:

:::
.
..
commsy_8.x.y
commsy_8.x.z
current -> commsy_8.x.y

Copy configuration files

Copy the configuration files from the old version to the new version. This includes:
- etc/cs_config.php
- any files under etc/commsy/ ending with .php (not .php-dist)

Copy uploaded files

Copy all directories under var/ from the old version to the new version.

Updating the database

Go to the CommSy Server page (the page listing all available portals) and follow the server configuration link. You can execute all available database update scripts under "Update".
