HowTo Update from 0.7.3

Hi,

i have a runninge Redmine installation from bitname on my pc. Now i want to update from 0.7.3 to 0.8.0 package.
Are there any howto’s or something else, how this could be done?

Hi,

At this moment the Stack doesn’t include the update option, you should follow the upgrade steps for Redmine: http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/RedmineUpgrade

Cheers

Thanks for the answer

I got into a sticky mess because I didn’t wait to try and upgrade, so I never saw this post until it was too late. So I used the following procedure on my OS X install:

(Note: where referenced, ROOT is the root-level directory for your Redmine installation. ROOT_OLD and ROOT_NEW will refer to the respective old and new installations)

1) Stop the currently running Redmine installation using “ROOT_OLD/ctlscript.sh stop”
2) Back up the existing install folder (I zipped mine)
3) Install new Bitnami stack into a new directory. Use all the same settings you used for the original install. The Bitnami installer will automatically start everything up, so stop them all with the “ROOT_NEW/ctlscript.sh stop” command.
4) Copy ROOT_OLD/apps/redmine/files into ROOT_NEW/apps/redmine/files
5) If you’ve modified your Subversion startup script to use a custom directory, copy ROOT_OLD/subversion/scripts/ctl.sh to ROOT_NEW/subversion/scripts/ctl.sh
6) Back up ROOT_NEW/mysql (Again, I zipped the folder) and delete the original directory from ROOT_NEW/
7) Copy ROOT_OLD/mysql to ROOT_NEW/mysql
8) Edit ROOT_NEW/mysql/scripts/ctl.sh to reflect your new pathname
9) Copy ROOT_OLD/apps/redmine/config/database.yml to ROOT_NEW/apps/redmine/config/database.yml
10) Start everything up: “ROOT_NEW/ctlscript.sh start”
10) cd to ROOT_NEW/apps/redmine, then run: ../../ruby/bin/rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=”production”
11) Run: ctlscript.sh restart

And you should be in business. HTH, YMMV.

Thanks for this great update guide from the BitNami team!

Thanks!

Thanks a lot. I will try it this weekend.

I would like to install the version 0.8.0 of Remin Stack, but I have some doubts when I read the Upgrade Guide (http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/RedmineUpgrade).

I downloaded “bitnami-redmine-0.8.0-0-windows-installer.exe” so I suppose that I have to following the steps “Upgrading from a downloaded release.”, is right?. In Section 5 refers to “RAILS_ROOT”, what is this directory?.

Yes, there are the correct steps. The RAILS_ROOT refers to the redmine directory, where the application save the documents. You can find at <installation_directory>/apps/redmine/files.

Cheers

I executed the command of step 4 and get the following result:

What is the environment variable and where it set?

Hi,
could you try updating Rake version ? It seems they did some modifications about that between 0.8.2 and 0.8.3

Just run:

gem update rake

Hi carlos,

I can not update because I run the command “gem update rake” and I get the following:

That error is strange, I’m using those urls without any problem.

You could try downloading the gem manually from http://rubyforge.iasi.roedu.net/gems/rake-0.8.3.gem and running

gem install <path_to_gem_file>\rake-0.8.3.gem

I hope it helps you

I’ve updated the Rake version and if I run the command from step 4 (rake db: migrate RAILS_ENV = “production”), I get the following now:

C:\Archivos de programa\BitNami Redmine Stack 0.8.0\ruby\bin>rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=”production”—trace

What is file to find?

Hi dgp,

When you run any Rake tasks you should do it inside the Rails application path, so it is able to find the file which defines those rake tasks related with the application.

In your case you should do

cd "\Archivos de programa\BitNami Redmine Stack 0.8.0\apps\redmine" 
"C:\Archivos de programa\BitNami Redmine Stack 0.8.0\ruby\bin\rake" db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"

Hi Carlos,

I get to run “rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=”production”” from the command line but I get several errors of ruby. One of the errors I get is “Error al iniciar la aplicación porque no se encontró CORE_RL_magick.dll. La reistalación de la aplicación puede solucionar el problema”
Did you have this problem?
