- ownCloud 4.0.6 → 4.0.7.To update an ownCloud installation manually, follow
- those steps:
- 1. Do a backup.
- 2. Unpack the release tarball in the owncloud directory, i.e. copy all new
- files into the ownCloud installation.
- 3. Make sure that the file permissions are correct.
- 4. With the next page request the update procedures will run.
- 5. If you installed ownCloud from a repository, your package management
- should take care of it.
- Upgrade
- -------
- Upgrade is to bring an ownCloud instance to a new *major release*, e.g.
- ownCloud 4.0.7 → 4.5.0. Always do backups anyway.
- To upgrade ownCloud, follow those steps:
- 1. Make sure that you ran the latest point release of the major ownCloud
- version, e.g. 4.0.7 in the 4.0 series. If not, update to that version first
- (see above).
- 2. Do a backup.
- 3. Deactivate all third party applications.
- 4. Delete everything from your ownCloud installation directory, except data and
- config.
- 5. Unpack the release tarball in the owncloud directory (or copy the
- files thereto).
- 6. Make sure that the file permissions are correct.
- 7. With the next page request the update procedures will run.
- 8. If you had 3rd party applications, check if they provide versions compatible
- with the new release.
- If so, install and enable them, update procedures will run if needed. 9. If
- you installed ownCloud from a repository, your package management should take
- care of it. Probably you will need to look for compatible third party
- applications yourself. Always do backups anyway.
