Upgrade ResourceSpace
It is strongly recommended to create a backup before starting the update process. If you have important data, create and try to restore a backup to ensure that everything works properly.
To upgrade the application only without modifying any other stack components, follow the steps below:
-
Back up the stack so that if anything goes wrong, you can restore it. The most important file is config.php, which stores all the ResourceSpace configuration settings.
-
Stop all the services.
$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh stop
-
Download the latest version of ResourceSpace from the official website. Replace the VERSION placeholder with the correct filename for the version you wish to download.
$ cd /home/bitnami $ git svn clone http://svn.resourcespace.com/svn/rs/releases/VERSION
-
Copy all files from the new version over the old files in the /opt/bitnami/resourcespace/ ResourceSpace installation directory. Alternatively, remove existing files first (except those in the /filestore directory) and copy the new files to the installation directory, so that if some files have changed their location, duplication can be prevented.
-
When executing the command below select “A [overwrite all files]” if prompted with an overwrite confirmation message. Remember to replace the VERSION placeholder with the correct version number
$ cp /home/bitnami/ResourceSpaceVERSION/* -r . $ rm -r /home/bitnami/ResourceSpaceVERSION
-
Replace any files containing local changes from your backup copy (for example, config.php, title.gif or others).
-
Restart services.
$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart
