Upgrade from 2.x to 3

[igarmash]

Hi FengOffice Team!

The new FengOffce version 3 is completely awesome! But we are still using FengOffice 2.5.1.4  on site...
Is there any possibility to upgrade v 2.x to v3?

Cheers
Igor

Yes - just follow the upgrade instructions in readme.txt.  It should work - it definitely works from 2.7 to 3.0, but you are using a pretty old version on site...  however, I do not  see why it wouldn't.

I tried to update from 2.7.1.6  to 3.0

# php public/upgrade/console.php 2.7 3.0
There is no upgrade path from version 2.7 to 3.0.
2014-12-22 09:43:42 - Updating plugins...
2014-12-22 09:43:43 - Finished plugins update.

via web upgrade url get:

You already have upgraded to the latest possible version: 2.7.1.6

Strange - try via the web upgrade version - point your browser to /public/upgrade.php.

That worked for me.

alex, in your case - I think you need to try re-uploading all of the new files, as somehow they didn't get all in place.  And, then try to run the upgrade again.

Backup, backup, backup, please!

I have clean installation (unzip from fengoffice_2.7.1.6.zip)
I can't upgrade it to 3 version.
Any ideas?

Hi Alex,

Are you following these instructions step by step?

Alex - if I read you right, you need to do a clean install of version 3.0, not 2.7.1.6, and then run the upgrade script.  Version 2.7.1.6 cannot upgrade itself to 3.0 - you need to get the 3.0 files, and then tell it to upgrade.

Thank you a lot. I got it.

Short manual to upgrade from 2.7.1.4 to 3.0 :
1. backup your old db
mysqldump -udbuser -p dbname > feng_old_db.sql
2. install and setup clear 3.0 version (i used new virtual host and new db )
3. restore you db backup to new db
mysql -udbuser2 -p dbname2 < feng_old_db.sql
4. go to new virtual host location and run
php public/upgrade/console.php 2.7.1.4 3.0

Yes - those are all of the correct steps!

Steveg, is there a particular reason why the official documentation is not mentioning the suggested upgrade process from 2.x to 3.x? Even the readme files in the feng office 3.x.zip archives just say about 2.x upgrades. I have found just this topic that gave me some hints on the 2.x 3.x upgrade process (for now I have failed with upgrade, though).

No clue about why it's not in the documentation, but it has been established that the procedure is the same, and most people have a smooth upgrade.
