How realistic is it to upgrade a very old version to the current version? #286

Open kevinblo opened 11 months ago

kevinblo commented 11 months ago

I have installed 3.9.2 version.

Do I have to go through all the releases one by one up to the current one?

Thank you.

Hello @kevinblo

Version 3.9.2 has the same upgrade system as the current version. And system requirements haven't really changed since.

You can review the upgrade instructions for each release since v3.9.2: https://gitlab.com/francoisjacquet/rosariosis/-/releases?after=eyJyZWxlYXNlZF9hdCI6IjIwMTgtMDMtMTMgMjA6MTU6MjAuMDAwMDAwMDAwICswMDAwIiwiaWQiOiIzODY1MjcifQ It should read:

Simply overwrite the old files.

As far as I remember, there as not been any other instruction, but I am not 100% sure.

I would advise:

  1. Backup your files
  2. Backup your database
  3. Download latest version
  4. Copy the new files over the old ones
  5. Access RosarioSIS
