Upgrading

Backup your data first! Follow the instructions here: Moving or backup an installation

Using the Debian/Ubuntu packages

If you are using the professional version or billing module make sure you download the new 3.7 license files first from https://shop.group-office.com/Download and put them in /usr/share/groupoffice.

Then change /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://repos.groupoffice.eu/ threeseven main

into:

deb http://repos.groupoffice.eu/ fourzero main

Then update the package info:

apt-get update

If you run into an error after upgrading please try to Rebuild the search cache and run the database check at Start menu -> System tools

Upgrading from 3.x to 4.x

To upgrade to 4.x. Your Group-Office version must be at least 3.7.41. If you have an older version, upgrade to the latest 3.7 version first.

SyncML

If you use syncml for funambol or synthesis clients. You must install the SyncML module after upgrading. Additionally you must change the sync URL and datastores. For more info see Synchronization client or device setup.

Z-push

If z-push is installed you'll need to upgrade it manually as described at the ActiveSync page.

Billing

In 3.7 the billing module was in the pro package. We have a separate billing package now so if you use that you must run "apt-get install groupoffice-billing" too.

LDAP Authentication

If you use LDAP auth. You must change the following in your mapping:

change:

new ldap_mapping_type('function','some_function')

into:

new GO_Ldapauth_Mapping_Function('some_function')

Also be aware that the parameter is no array but a GO_Base_Ldap_Record object.

and:

new ldap_mapping_type('constant','1')

into:

new GO_Ldapauth_Mapping_Constant('1')

IMAP Authentication

We have removed some parameters from the imapauth.config.php file.

So you need to make sure you have fixed this for the rights.

Manual upgrade

If you are using the professional version download the license file and tarbal packages from https://shop.group-office.com/Download. If you use the Community version download the packages from http://sourceforge.net/projects/group-office/.

Take the following steps:

1. Backup your database
2. Move away your old source files.
3. Put the new files at the right location.
4. If exists copy your old config.php to the new files.
5. Launch Group-Office in your browser and it will perform a system upgrade.
6. If z-push is installed you'll need to upgrade it manually as described at the ActiveSync page.

From the Community to Professional version

If you are using the professional version or billing module make sure you download the license files first from https://shop.group-office.com/Download and put them in /usr/share/groupoffice. Then run:

apt-get install groupoffice-pro

If you are using the tar packages download the package from the shop and replace the files.

After this you can login to Group-Office and install the professional modules at Start menu -> Modules.
