I am using currently V1.7.2
I want to install the newer version of the Project'Or RIA to have some new reports. How can I do this.........
I am not an IT man, so a little detail answer is requested. 😛
Secondly, Please let me how can I made the Auto-update on the Project'Or RIA.
Hi,
There is no auto-update in the way you could have for standalone software.
Each tile a new version is deployed, you can :
- receive an internal alert if : you are admin, you agreed the "look for update" in the global parameter screen, and you server has "allow_url_fopen = On" in php.ini.
- receive the information in the newsletter if you subscribe to it
- receive an alert from forum if you subscribe to the "news" topics
Then update process is easy :
- download new version
- unzip it on your server and move result so that the new directories/files will overwrite existing ones
- connect as admin (any other connection will be blocked until process has ended)
=> the 'automatic' process will begin, upgrading your database to new version
That's all.
You can upgrade from any version to any newer version.
Thanks a lot.
One more thing, will the update effect the data. Or should I back it up.
You should always back-up before an upgrade, in case something gets wrong duiring the process.
And I advide to backup daily (or at least weekly).
But the upgrade process does not delete your data : your get you data unchanged after upgrade.
