The documentation below is based on upgrading to Redmine 2.x and higher. You can view a previous version for upgrading to Redmine 1.x "here":/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineUpgrade?version=53.

h2. Step 1 - Check requirements
8 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
9 15 Eric Davis
The first step to upgrading Redmine is to check that you meet the [[RedmineInstall#Requirements|requirements]] for the version you're about to install.

h2. Step 2 - Backup
12
13
It is recommended that you backup your database and file uploads.  Most upgrades are safe but it never hurts to have a backup just in case.

h3. Backing up the files
16
17 37 Ed Ruder
All file uploads are stored to the @files/@ directory.  You can copy the contents of this directory to another location to easily back it up.

h3. MySQL database
20
21 38 T. Hauptman
The @mysqldump@ command can be used to backup the contents of your MySQL database to a text file. For example:
22
<pre>
23
/usr/bin/mysqldump -u <username> -p<password> <redmine_database> | gzip > /path/to/backup/db/redmine_`date +%y_%m_%d`.gz
24
</pre>
25
26 15 Eric Davis
27
h3. SQLite database
28
29
SQLite databases are all contained in a single file, so you can back them up by copying the file to another location.
30
31
h3. PostgreSQL
32
33 39 Anonymous
The @pg_dump@ command can be used to backup the contents of a PostgreSQL database to a text file. Here is an example:
34
<pre>
35
/usr/bin/pg_dump -U <username> -Fc --file=redmine.sqlc <redmine_database>
36
</pre>

h2. Step 3 - Perform the upgrade
40
41 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
Now it's time to perform the actual upgrade.  This process is different depending on how you downloaded Redmine.  You only need to perform *one* of the following options.
42
43 70 Jean-Philippe Lang
h3. Option 1 - Download a stable release
44 15 Eric Davis
45 70 Jean-Philippe Lang
1. [[Download]] the release in either tar.gz or zip format and uncompress the new program archive in a new directory.
46 15 Eric Davis
47 72 Toshi MARUYAMA
Make sure the newly extracted and copied files and directories have the correct owner and group set, so that the user/group running your application server can actually access the files.
48 74 Go MAEDA
Also, remember to add write permissions to the @files@, @log@ and @tmp@ directory.
49 72 Toshi MARUYAMA
50 51 Jean-Philippe Lang
2. Copy your database settings-file @config/database.yml@ into the new @config@ directory. If you're running Redmine >= 1.4 with mysql and ruby1.9, change the database adapter to `mysql2`.
51 15 Eric Davis
52 48 Etienne Massip
3a. Copy your base configuration settings-file @config/configuration.yml@ into the new @config@ directory.
53
54 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
3b. Or, *if upgrading from version older than 1.2.0*, copy your email settings from your @config/email.yml@ into the new @config/configuration.yml@ file that can be created by copying the available @configuration.yml.example@ file.
55 15 Eric Davis
56 67 Jean-Philippe Lang
4. Copy the @files@ directory content into your new installation (this directory contains all your uploaded files).
57 15 Eric Davis
58 70 Jean-Philippe Lang
5. Copy the folders of your *custom* plugins from your @plugins@ directory (or @vendor/plugins@ directory if upgrading from a 1.x version) into new installation @plugins@ directory. Make sure that you copy only plugins that are were not initially bundled with your previous Redmine setup.
59 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
60 68 Toshi MARUYAMA
6. Install the required gems by running:
61 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
62 68 Toshi MARUYAMA
  bundle install --without development test
63
64 70 Jean-Philippe Lang
If ImageMagick is not installed on your system, you should skip the installation of the rmagick gem using:
65 68 Toshi MARUYAMA
66 70 Jean-Philippe Lang
  bundle install --without development test rmagick
67 68 Toshi MARUYAMA
68 70 Jean-Philippe Lang
Only the gems that are needed by the adapters you've specified in your database configuration file are actually installed (eg. if your config/database.yml uses the 'mysql2' adapter, then only the mysql2 gem will be installed). Don't forget to re-run `bundle install` when you change config/database.yml for using other database adapters.
69 68 Toshi MARUYAMA
70 70 Jean-Philippe Lang
If you need to load some gems that are not required by Redmine core (eg. fcgi), you can create a file named Gemfile.local at the root of your redmine directory. It will be loaded automatically when running `bundle install`.
71 68 Toshi MARUYAMA
72 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
7. Run the following command from your new Redmine root directory:
73 68 Toshi MARUYAMA
74 75 Toshi MARUYAMA
If you're upgrading from Redmine 2.x or below, remove the following file if it exists:
75
* config/initializers/secret_token.rb
76 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
77 75 Toshi MARUYAMA
Then generate a new secret by running the following command under the application directory:
78
79
     bundle exec rake generate_secret_token
80
81
Alternatively, you can store this secret in config/secrets.yml:

83 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
84 22 Brad Langhorst
8. Check for any themes that you may have installed in the @public/themes@ directory. You can copy them over but checking for updated version is ideal.
85 68 Toshi MARUYAMA
86 26 salt racer
VERY IMPORTANT: do NOT overwrite @config/settings.yml@ with the old one.
87 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
88 65 Jean-Philippe Lang
h3. Option 2 - Upgrading from a SVN checkout
89 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
90
1. Go to the Redmine root directory and run the following command:
91
<pre>
92
svn update
93 69 Toshi MARUYAMA
</pre>
94
95 70 Jean-Philippe Lang
2. Install the required gems by running the following command:
96 15 Eric Davis
97
  bundle update
98
99 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
h2. Step 4 - Update the database
100 28 rafael mascayano
101 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
This step is the one that could change the contents of your database. Go to your new redmine directory, then migrate your database:
102
103 71 Jean-Philippe Lang
  bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production 
104 18 Ethan Fremen
105
If you have installed any plugins, you should also run their database migrations:
106 60 Etienne Massip
107 73 Jean-Philippe Lang
  bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
108 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
109 15 Eric Davis
h2. Step 5 - Clean up
110 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
111 71 Jean-Philippe Lang
1. Clear the cache and the existing sessions:
112 10 Azamat Hackimov
113 73 Jean-Philippe Lang
  bundle exec rake tmp:cache:clear tmp:sessions:clear RAILS_ENV=production
114 71 Jean-Philippe Lang
115 62 Etienne Massip
2. Restart the application server (e.g. puma, thin, passenger)
116 12 Mischa The Evil
117 15 Eric Davis
3. Finally go to _"Admin -> Roles & permissions"_ to check/set permissions for the new features, if any.

h3. Errors with repository management
122 33 Cyber Sprocket
123 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
There were several new features added to the reposman.rb file, make sure you have a group specified if you're having issues ( --group=groupnamehere).  Also, make sure you follow the instructions [[Repositories_access_control_with_apache_mod_dav_svn_and_mod_perl|here]] again if you only copied your Redmine.pm, and update your Apache configuration as the recommended configuration has changed.

125
h3. Generating a new @secret_token.rb@
126
127 34 Cyber Sprocket
Before version:2.0.0, a @session_store.rb@ file needed to be generated in Redmine's @config@ directory for the cookie based sessions to work.
128 33 Cyber Sprocket
129 32 Szymon Połom
Starting from version:2.0.0, the @session_store.rb@ file should not exist. Instead, the following command will generate the @secret_token.rb@ file:
130 35 Cyber Sprocket
131 71 Jean-Philippe Lang
  bundle exec rake generate_secret_token
132 32 Szymon Połom
133
_Note: The code repository for Redmine does not contain the config/initializers/secret_token.rb file, it is created by the above rake command._
