Upgrade phpList
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.
You can upgrade the application only without modifying any other stack components. Follow the steps below:
-
Backup the configuration file at /opt/bitnami/phplist/config/config.php.
-
Backup your current phpList database.
$ /opt/bitnami/mysql/bin/mysqldump -u root -p bitnami_phplist > ~/phplist.sql
-
Remove the application directory:
$ rm -r /opt/bitnami/phplist/
-
Download the latest version of phpList.
-
Decompress the downloaded file and copy the public_html/lists directory to the phplist/ directory.
$ tar xvf phplist-X.X.X.tar.gz $ cp -r phplist-X.X.X/public_html/lists /opt/bitnami/phplist/
-
Recover the previous configuration and data folders by copying the configuration file you backed up earlier to /opt/bitnami/phplist/config/config.php.
$ cp config.php /opt/bitnami/phplist/config/config.php $ rm -r /opt/bitnami/phplist/admin/plugins $ ln -s /bitnami/phplist/admin/plugins /opt/bitnami/phplist/admin/plugins $ rm -r /opt/bitnami/phplist/images/image $ ln -s /bitnami/phplist/images/image /opt/bitnami/phplist/images/image
-
Browse to the application home page, and you should see a message telling you that the database is out of date. To correct this, click the upgrade link on the page.
