I do upgrade this way:
- Unzip the new version in new folder, par example 'redmine-2.1.2' (next to actual one, which is 'redmine').
- Copy settings in database.yml and configuration.yml (I use for this winmerge, so as to avoid errors if there is some difference between these files in both versions).
- Copy plugins from the old to the new installation.
- Copy user added themes from from the old to the new installation.
- Rename the old installation par example to 'redmine-2.0.3'
- Rename the new installation to 'redmine'
In the new installation:
- execute 'bundle install --without test development rmagick'
- Clear cache
- Migrate database
- Migrate plugins
- start server (in my case thin)
- see permissions and there is new permissions, set them appropriately
This may differ from what is in your case but you may use it as a general guide.
P. S. Check the plugins: some of them that work with the old version may not work with the new version.
