Upgrading Your ownCloud Server
==============================
Updating and upgrading your ownCloud installation are two different tasks.
Updating means updating to the next point release, which is indicated
by the third digit of the version number. For example, 4.5.1, 5.0.17, 6.0.4 and
7.0.1 are point releases. (Look at the bottom of your Admin page to see your
version number.)
Major releases are indicated by the first and second digits. So 4.5.0, 5.0.0,
6.0.0, and 7.0.0 are major releases. You may use the Update app for staying
current with new point releases, but not for upgrading to a major release.
.. note:: If you installed ownCloud from your Linux distribution repositories
using your package manager, then it is best to update/upgrade ownCloud using
your package manager and staying in sync with your distro updates, rather
than using the Updater app or upgrading manually. You should still
maintain regular backups (see :doc:`backup`), and make a backup before every
update/upgrade.
Manual Upgrade Procedure
------------------------
Start by putting your server in maintenance mode. Do this by entering your
``config.php`` file and changing ``'maintenance' => false,`` to ``'maintenance'
=> true,``. This prevents new logins, and logged-in users can't make any
further requests.
1. Ensure that you are running the latest point release of your current major
ownCloud version.
2. Deactivate all third party applications (not core apps), and review them for
compatibility with your new ownCloud version.
3. Back up your existing ownCloud Server database, data directory, and
``config.php`` file. (See :doc:`backup`.)
4. Download the latest ownCloud Server version into an empty directory outside
of your current installation. For example, if your current ownCloud is
installed in ``/var/www/owncloud/`` you could create a new directory called
``/var/www/owncloud2/``
On Linux operating systems, change to your new directory and download the
current ownCloud tarball with ``wget``:
``wget http://download.owncloud.org/community/owncloud-latest.tar.bz2``
For Windows operating systems. see the installation instruction in
:doc:`../installation/installation_windows`.
5. Stop your web server.
Depending on your environment, you will be running either an Apache server or
a Windows IIS server. To stop an Apache server, refer to the following table for
specific commands to use in different Linux operating systems:
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| Operating System | Command (as root) |
+==================+==============================================+
| CentOS/RHEL | ``apachectl stop`` |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| Debian | |
| or | ``/etc/init.d/apache2 stop`` |
| Ubuntu | |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| SUSE Enterprise | |
| Linux 11 | ``/usr/sbin/rcapache2 stop`` |
| | |
| openSUSE 12.3 and up | ``systemctl stop apache2`` |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------+
To stop the Windows IIS web server, you can use either the user interface (UI)
or command line method as follows:
+----------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| Method | Procedure |
| | |
+======================+===================================================+
| User Interface (UI) | 1. Open IIS Manager and navigate to the |
| | web server node in the tree. |
| | |
| | 2. In the **Actions** pane, click **Stop**. |
+----------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| Command Line | 1. Open a command line window as |
| | administrator. |
| | |
| | 2. At the command prompt, type **net stop WAS** |
| | and press **ENTER**. |
| | |
| | 3. (Optional) To stop W3SVC, type **Y** and |
| | then press **ENTER**. |
+----------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
6. Rename or move your current ownCloud directory (named ``owncloud/`` if
installed using defaults) to another location.
7. Unpack your new tarball:
``tar xjf owncloud-latest.tar.bz2``
In Microsoft Windows environments, you can unpack the release tarball using
WinZip or a similar tool (for example, Peazip). Always unpack server code
into an empty directory. Unpacking the server code into an existing,
populated directory is not supported and will cause all kinds of errors.
8. This creates a new ``owncloud/`` directory populated with your new server
files. Copy this directory and its contents to the original location of your
old server, for example ``/var/www/``, so that once again you have
``/var/www/owncloud`` .
9. Copy and paste the ``config.php`` file from your old version of
ownCloud to your new ownCloud version.
10. If you keep your ``data/`` directory in your ``owncloud/`` directory, copy
it from your old version of ownCloud to the ``owncloud/`` directory of your
new ownCloud version. If you keep it outside of ``owncloud/`` then you
don't have to do anything with it.
.. note:: We recommend storing your ``data/`` directory in a location other
than your ``owncloud/`` directory. If you have your ``data/`` directory
already stored in another location, you can skip this step. If you want to
do so, now is a good time to change the location of your ``data/`` directory.
See the "Advanced Options" chapter in
:doc:`../installation/installation_wizard` for more information about
changing the default database or data directory.
11. Restart your web server.
Depending on your environment, you will be running either an Apache server or a
Windows IIS server. In addition, when running your server in a Linux
environment, the necessary commands for stopping the Apache server might differ
from one Linux operating system to another.
To start an Apache server, refer to the following table for specific commands
to use in different Linux operating systems:
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| Operating System | Command (as root) |
+==================+==============================================+
| CentOS/RHEL | ``apachectl start`` |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| Debian | |
| or | ``/etc/init.d/apache2 start`` |
| Ubuntu | |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| SUSE Enterprise | |
| Linux 11 | ``/usr/sbin/rcapache2 start`` |
| | |
| openSUSE 12.3 and up | ``systemctl start apache2`` |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------+
To start the Windows IIS web server, you can use either the user interface
(UI) or command line method as follows:
+----------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| Method | Procedure |
| | |
+======================+===================================================+
| User Interface (UI) | 1. Open IIS Manager and navigate to the |
| | web server node in the tree. |
| | |
| | 2. In the **Actions** pane, click **Stop**. |
+----------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| Command Line | 1. Open a command line window as |
| | administrator. |
| | |
| | 2. At the command prompt, type **net stop WAS** |
| | and press **ENTER**. |
| | |
| | 3. (Optional) To stop W3SVC, type **Y** and |
| | then press **ENTER**. |
+----------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
12. Now you should be able to open a web browser to your ownCloud server and
log in as usual. You have a couple more steps to go: You should see a
**Start Update** screen. Review the prequisites, and if you have followed
all the steps click the **Start Update** button.
If you are an enterprise customer, or are running a large installation with
a lot of files and users, you should launch the update from the command
line. The ``occ`` command is in your ``owncloud/`` directory, so on a
typical Linux installation you could run this command:
``php /var/www/owncloud/occ upgrade``
13. The upgrade operation takes a few minutes, depending on the size of your
installation. When it is finished you will see a success message, or an
error message that will tell where it went wrong.
Assuming your upgrade succeeded, take a look at the bottom of the Admin page to
verify the version number. Check your other settings to make sure they're
correct. Go to the Apps page and review the core apps to make sure the right
ones are enabled.
Now you can review your third-party apps, and upgrade and enable them.
