The first step to upgrading Redmine is to check that you meet the [[RedmineInstall#Requirements|requirements]] for the version you're about to install.

h2. Step 2 - Backup
10
11
It is recommended that you backup your database and file uploads.  Most upgrades are safe but it never hurts to have a backup just in case.
12
13
h3. Backing up the files
14
15
All file uploads are stored to the @files/@ directory.  You can copy the contents of this directory to a another location to easily back it up.

17
h3. MySQL database
18
19
The @mysqldump@ command can be used to backup the contents of your MySQL database to a text file.
20
21
h3. SQLite database
22
23
SQLite databases are all contained in a single file, so you can back them up by copying the file to another location.
24
25
h3. PostgreSQL
26
27
The @pg_dump@ command can be used to backup the contents of a PostgreSQL database to a text file.

h2. Step 3 - Perform the upgrade

Now it's time to perform the actual upgrade.  This process if different depending on how you downloaded Redmine.  You only need to perform *one* of the following options.

h3. Option 1 - Downloaded release (tar.gz or zip file)

35
1. Uncompress the new program archive in a new directory.
36
37
2. Copy your database settings-file @config/database.yml@ into the new @config@ directory.

3. Copy your email settings-file @config/email.yml@ into the new @config@ directory.

41
4. Copy the @RAILS_ROOT/files@ directory content into your new installation.
42

5. Copy the folders of your installed plugins into new installation directory

6. If upgrading to 0.8.7+ or 0.9+, run "rake config/initializers/session_store.rb"

7. Check for any themes that you may have installed in the "public/themes" directory. You can copy them over but checking for updated version is ideal.
48
49 19 Jean-Philippe Lang
VERY IMPORTANT: do NOT overwrite @config/settings.yml@ with the old one.

h3. Option 2 - Upgrading from a SVN [[CheckingoutRedmine|checkout]]
52 15 Eric Davis
53 2 Jean-Philippe Lang
1. Go to the Redmine root directory and run the following command:
54 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
<pre>
55
svn update
56
</pre>
57
58 25 Mischa The Evil
2. If you are upgrading from an older version to 0.8.7+ or from the trunk version of Redmine to r2493 or above, you must generate a secret for cookie store.  See the note at the bottom about generating a @session_store@.

h2. Step 4 - Update the database
61
62
This step is the one that could change the contents of your database. Go to your new redmine directory, then migrate your database:
63
64 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
<pre>
65 20 Vladimir L
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
66 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
</pre>
67
68 18 Ethan Fremen
If you have installed any plugins, you should also run their database migrations. If you are upgrading to Rails 2.2.2 as part of this migration, you need to upgrade the plugin migrations first:
69
70 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
<pre>
71 20 Vladimir L
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate:upgrade_plugin_migrations
72 18 Ethan Fremen
</pre>

74
<pre>
75 20 Vladimir L
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate_plugins

h2. Step 5 - Clean up
79 1 Jean-Philippe Lang

1. You should clear the cache and the existing sessions:
81 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
<pre>
82
rake tmp:cache:clear
83 10 Azamat Hackimov
rake tmp:sessions:clear
84 3 Jean-Philippe Lang
</pre>

2. Restart the application server (e.g. mongrel, thin, passenger)

3. Finally go to _"Admin -> Roles & permissions"_ to check/set permissions for the new features, if any.

h3. Generating a session_store.rb
93 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
94 15 Eric Davis
An unique @session_store.rb@ file needs to be generated for Redmine for the new cookie based sessions to work.  This is required on the trunk version of Redmine at r2493 or above.  Just run the following command and Redmine will create one for you:
95 10 Azamat Hackimov
<pre>
96
rake config/initializers/session_store.rb
97
</pre>

102
If you see any errors about a missing @session_store.rb@ file, run the command above to create a new one.

h3. Error about the Rails version

106 21 Nicklas Holm
Also remember that the trunk version of Redmine after r2886 uses Rails 2.3.4, so you will need to upgrade your Ruby on Rails gem:
107 15 Eric Davis
<pre>
108 21 Nicklas Holm
gem install rails -v=2.3.4
109 15 Eric Davis
</pre>
