Upgrading from very old version: from 0.6.x to 2.3.0 - Any advice?

Added by Michele Imperiali about 12 years ago

Hi all,
Here is my situation: very old version of RedMine (0.6.x) and wanting to upgrade to the latest one (2.3.0).
I'm wondering if I can do the upgrade straight to 2.3.0 or it has to be gradual, for ex. first to 1.x, then 2.x and then 2.3.0.
Does anyone know of a reason I shouldn't be following the first option?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You should do the upgrade straight to 2.3.0 but I've never heard of such a version gap with Redmine =)

Hi,

I'm looking support because i made a upgrade from version 0.9.3 to 2.3.0
The migration was fine, BUT I'm having some issues with the ISSUES, GANT and CALENDAR tabs with my new Redmine.
All I get is a 500 error page.
The other features are working fine.

So basically my advice is test with a separate virtual machine installation and test all the features of Redmine.
The plugins are the most problematic fact in the upgrade process, they have many issues with compatibility.

There are two important steps:
  • 1.3.x -> 1.4.x - introduces bundler
  • 1.4.x -> 2.x.x - many things changed: leave mongrel and use thin or puma; upgrade to Ruby 1.9.3, use mysql2 adapter; upgrade plugins (I waited about 3 months for upgraded plugins).

Try incremental upgrades, on some virtual machine.
