Freeside:1.7.3:Documentation:Upgrading

• If upgrading from a version earlier than 1.7.2, follow the instructions for Upgrading to 1.7 first.
• Install Number::Format 1.50 (or later)
• make install-perl-modules
• As the freeside UNIX user, run freeside-upgrade username, passing the username of an internal Freeside user.
• If freeside-upgrade hangs, try stopping Apache, all Freeside processes, and anything else connected to your database, especially on older PostgreSQL versions.
• pg_attribute: permission denied executing: UPDATE pg_attribute when running freeside-upgrade with Pg 7.3 or older? Try this:

ALTER TABLE cust_pay_batch ADD COLUMN payby char(4);
ALTER TABLE h_cust_pay_batch ADD COLUMN payby char(4);
ALTER TABLE cust_pay_batch ALTER COLUMN payby SET NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE h_cust_pay_batch ALTER COLUMN payby SET NOT NULL;

• make install-docs (or make deploy if you've got everything setup for that in the Makefile)
• Perl module errors? Try make clean then make install-perl-modules then make install-docs or make deploy again
