Important!
In some cases, certain plugins can't work properly, is recommended upgrade any plugin previous to upgrade Redmine.
If any plugin does not have a compatible versión with Redmine 1.4.1 is recommended uninstall before to upgrade Redmine.

First step: Backup¶

:~# mysqldump -u <username> -p<password> <redmine_database> | gzip > /path/to/backup/redmine-database_`date +%y_%m_%d`.gz
:~# tar -cvzf /path/to/backup/redmine-files_`date +%y_%m_%d`.gz /var/lib/redmine/files

Install dependencies¶

server:~# cd /var/lib/redmine/
server:~# gem install bundler
server:~# gem install rdoc -v=2.4.2
server:~# gem install sqlite3 -v=1.3.6
server:~# gem install rmagick -v=2.13.1
server:~# aptitude install libmysqlclient-dev libmysql-ruby libdbd-mysql-ruby1.8 libdbd-mysql-ruby libmagick9-dev libpq-dev libsqlite3-dev -y

h2.

Change SVN url on local copy¶

server:~# cd /var/lib/redmine
server:~# svn switch http://redmine.rubyforge.org/svn/branches/1.4-stable

server:~# Checked out revision 9656.

Execute bundle¶

server:~# /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/bundle install --without development production

Update database, plugins database and clear cache¶

server:~# rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

Finally, restart Apache and verified if Redmine is upgraded
