Upgrade Review Board
Before running the commands shown on this page, you should load the Bitnami stack environment by executing the installdir/use_APPNAME script (Linux and MacOS) or by clicking the shortcut in the Start Menu under “Start -> Bitnami APPNAME Stack -> Application console” (Windows). On OS X VMs, the installation directory is /opt/bitnami and OS X VM users can click the “Open Terminal” button to run commands. Learn more about the Bitnami stack environment and about OS X VMs.
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 these steps:
-
Stop all servers.
-
Back up the installdir/apps/reviewboard directory in case the upgrade process fails and you need to restore it.
-
At the command prompt, execute these commands:
$ cd installdir/apps/reviewboard/htdocs/ $ sudo venv/bin/easy_install -U ReviewBoard $ sudo venv/bin/rb-site upgrade installdir/apps/reviewboard/rb-sites/reviewboard/ -
Restart the servers.
$ sudo installdir/ctlscript.sh restart
