Help finding the correct procedure for updating/upgrading contacts(crm) & helpdesk plugins

Added by donny osmon about 7 years ago

Hi I am running these 2 plugins & would like to know the correct procedure for updating/upgrading them.
Should the existing version be uninstalled first? If so, would this wipe out the data?
Or should the existing plugin files be removed & new version files copied in before updating?
Below are 2 procedures I wrote up but have not executed yet. If they are wrong, please let me know.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

redmine_contacts 4.0.3 --> 4.1.1 (free version being used)
redmine_contacts_helpdesk 3.0.1 --> 3.09

bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate NAME=redmine_contacts VERSION=0 RAILS_ENV=production
$ rm -r /var/www/redmine/plugins/redmine_contacts
Restart Redmine
$ mv new-version_of_redmine_contacts_CRM to /var/www/redmine/plugins/redmine_contacts
$ cd /var/www/redmine; bundle install;
bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate NAME=redmine_contacts RAILS_ENV=production
Restart Redmine

Or just move in new files & run migrate?

$ rm -r /var/www/redmine/plugins/redmine_contacts
$ mv new-version_of_redmine_contacts_CRM to /var/www/redmine/plugins/redmine_contacts
$ cd /var/www/redmine; bundle install;
$ bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate NAME=redmine_contacts RAILS_ENV=production
Restart Redmine

To just update the plugin, your last mentioned steps are the right one:

$ rm -r /var/www/redmine/plugins/redmine_contacts
$ mv new-version_of_redmine_contacts_CRM to /var/www/redmine/plugins/redmine_contacts
$ cd /var/www/redmine; bundle install;
$ bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate NAME=redmine_contacts RAILS_ENV=production
Restart Redmine

They also have a bit documentation on their website: https://www.redmineup.com/pages/help/installation/upgrade-redmineup-plugin

Greetings,

Bernhard

Hi Donny,

May I ask, have you succeeded with the installation?

We look forward to hearing from you.
