[Solved] Upgrading to the latest open project on windows

Added by honas grael over 9 years ago

Hello I managed to get a version of OpenProject off bitnami, they have an excellent installer that works on Windows(I use windows 7 and mercurial for development and learning). I wanted to know how I can update/upgrade to the latest version of OpenProject.
Any tutorials, or guides. I am quite new to OpenProject

Hi,
the OpenProject Bitnami installation is supported by Bitnami.
Here is a link to an upgrade guide by Bitnami (I’m however not sure if it’s current):
https://wiki.bitnami.com/Applications/Bitnami_OpenProject#How_to_upgrade_openproject.3f

The upgrade guides for the packager installation maintained by OpenProject can be found here:
https://www.openproject.org/open-source/packaged-installation/packaged-installation-upgrade-guide/

Best,
Robin

Thank you

Hi,

the first guide does not include Bitnami or Windows. The second guide basically describes installing a new bitnami package and then migrating the database. Are there any guides that describe updating the existing bitnami package by updating the OpenProject component? We don’t really want to wait until Bitnami releases the current stable OpenProject version as a package.

Regards and thanks,
Daniel

Hello,

I am currently looking to do the same thing. I have asked this question in the Bitnami forums, but I am also reading through the Manual Installation Upgrade Guide as it looks the most promising. Just need to determine how Bitnami did their setup versus what is described in the Manual Installation.

Hey Ron,

If the Bitnami installation currently available is equal to the OpenProject 4.2 core, I suggest you follow the manual installation guide and point the installation to your existing Bitnami database.

OpenProject should take care of migrating that version automatically when running the rake db:migrate step of the guide.

Best,
Oliver

RE: [Solved] Upgrading to the latest open project on windows - Added by Ron Meske over 9 years ago

Hi Oliver,

The Bitnami version is 5.0.7. They are in the process of updating it but with the rapid release schedule of OpenProject I doubt they will be able to keep their images up to date. It seems like the manual installation update process is best but it has a lot of steps I am sure are not needed for every point version. Is there a way of identifying just those steps needed in this case?

Ron
