I do upgrade this way:

  1. Unzip the new version in new folder, par example 'redmine-2.1.2' (next to actual one, which is 'redmine').
  2. Copy settings in database.yml and configuration.yml (I use for this winmerge, so as to avoid errors if there is some difference between these files in both versions).
  3. Copy plugins from the old to the new installation.
  4. Copy user added themes from from the old to the new installation.
  1. Rename the old installation par example to 'redmine-2.0.3'
  2. Rename the new installation to 'redmine'

In the new installation:

  1. execute 'bundle install --without test development rmagick'
  2. Clear cache
  3. Migrate database
  4. Migrate plugins
  1. start server (in my case thin)
  2. see permissions and there is new permissions, set them appropriately

This may differ from what is in your case but you may use it as a general guide.

P. S. Check the plugins: some of them that work with the old version may not work with the new version.
