Notes

Start of 3.x to 4.x upgrade instructions.

Note that unlike most major version upgrades, a minimum version of 3.3 is needed before upgrading to 4.x. If running an earlier version, upgrade to 3.3 or later before upgrading to 4.x.

Initial cleanup

  • rm -r /opt/rt3/lib #is this necessary? i think it was RT 3.8->4.0-only (freeside 2.3->3.0), because of how it moved its libs around

  • make clean; make configure-rt; make install-perl-modules install-docs

RT

  • make install-rt
  • cd freeside-4.0/rt
  • As the freeside UNIX user, run /opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --dba freeside --prompt-for-dba-password --action upgrade
    • You will be prompted for the RT version to upgrade from.
      • If you are upgrading from Freeside 3.4, enter 4.0.19'.
