WebGUI upgrade: Revision 17
Upgrade from WebGUI 6.2.11 to 7.3.4
^ Install dependencies .pre apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2 apt-get install perlmagick imagemagick .pre Don't bother with installation of perl modules from packages. Debian has modules which are sometimes a bit too old for cutting-edge WebGUI, so just let CPAN install it for you. ^ Basic configuration All operations on both hosts (mjesec, zemlja) are done as `root` user. This is not strictly necessery (especially for WebGUI tasks), but it's easier in combination with MySQL setup. We want to get running quickly, YMMV. ^ Cleanup target machine If this is not first installation attempt, you might want to cleanup target machine first. .pre # root@mjesec cd /data/WebGUI grep dsn etc/*.conf | cut -d: -f4- \ | xargs -i echo 'drop database {};' \ | ssh zemlja 'cat > /data/drop_all_dbs.sql' .pre Now switch to target machine and finish cleanup: .pre # root@zemlja cd /data xargs -i mysql -e '{}' < /data/drop_all_dbs.sql rm -Rf WebGUI .pre ^ Copy existing installation In this step, we will copy existing WebGUI 6.2.11 installation to new (virtual) host (zemlja) to test upgrade. ^^ Copy MySQL databases .pre # root@mjesec cd /data/WebGUI grep dsn etc/*.conf | cut -d: -f4- \ | xargs mysqldump --databases \ | ssh zemlja mysql mysql .pre ^^ Copy existing WebGUI installation .pre # root@mjesec cd /data tar cfp - WebGUI/ | ssh zemlja 'cd /data && tar xvfp -' .pre This is much faster than scp in my expirience... ^^ Finish database setup Now, on zemlja, let's grant webgui user access to those databases: .pre # root@zemlja cd /data/WebGUI mysql -e 'create user webgui' grep dsn etc/*.conf | cut -d: -f4- \ | xargs -i mysql -e "grant all privileges on {}.* to webgui@localhost identified by 'password';" mysql -e "flush privileges" .pre ^ Upgrade steps First, test current enviroment for any mis-configuration: .pre # root@zemlja cd /data/WebGUI/sbin perl testEnvironment.pl .pre If there are missing perl libraries, install them. Some will have to be forced, but all-in-all it goes well. And run upgrade... .pre # root@zemlja cd /data/WebGUI/sbin perl upgrade.pl --doit .pre Now, extract new version of webgui on which you want to upgrade (I'm assume that you downloaded required versions in /data): .pre cd /data/ ls tar xvfz webgui-6.6.0-beta.tar.gz cd /data/WebGUI/sbin/ perl testEnvironment.pl perl upgrade.pl --doit .pre This will take a while. ^ Hint For testing, I created `*.zemlja.example.com` DNS entry, so that all sites become `old.site.name.zemlja.example.com`. |
