Obsolete:CiviCRM upgrade

This page contains historical information. It may be outdated or unreliable.

From CiviCRM 2.? to 3.16 and Drupal 6.? to 6.17.

Steps for CiviCRM upgrade

Take site down for maintenance (really only necessary for Live)
Disable watchdogs and timeouts for MySQL (make apropriate log entry in #wiki_tech with !log logentry or Tim Starling will be angry)
Disable all CiviCRM integration / extension modules
ensure that civicrm is not drupal home page (administration->site information)
Update code for CiviCRM module ONLY
Activate donor comments custom data field
Copy donor comments to custom field using movenotes.php
Make dump of DB to refresh to in the event of a botched upgrade, so as to not have to repeat the above steps.
Run upgrade script
Pray.
Check ALL path settings (for files, domains, etc)
Make sure that CiviCRM cron jobs are properly configured in Hudson and cron jobs deleted

This is an ugly way to do this, but until our set up changes...

Download latest drupal
take the site off line
backup everything, particularly .htaccess
chmod g+w sites/default/settings.php; vi sites/default/settings.php
set $update_free_access = TRUE in settings.php
cp -rf latest drupal into the webroot
run update.php
ensure modules are enabled, restore .htaccess
Re-enable watchdogs and timeouts
Reset $update_free_access = FALSE in settings.php
Double check UNVERSIONED files dir
Double check all path settings
Double check queue2civicrm queue settings
Double check CiviCRM ACL permissions in Drupal (particularly around deletion...)
put the site back on line

This is already running on Erzurumi - see ActiveMQ for details.

BE SURE TO UPDATE THE PAYPAL IPN ADDRESS ON PAYPAL'S END
to quickly reset permissions properly on web dirs in grosely: sudo chown -R www-data:www-data org.wikimedia.civicrm.dev; sudo chmod -R g+w org.wikimedia.civicrm.dev;
