Upgrade Question

Hey All,

I just did an upgrade from RT3.0.4 to 3.0.6 and saw this at the end of the
make upgrade:

    Congratulations. RT has been upgraded. You should now check-over
    /usr/local/rt3/etc/RT_Config.pm for any necessary site

customization. Additionally,
you should update RT’s system database objects by running
ls etc/upgrade
For each file in that directory whose name is greater than
your previously installed RT version, run:
/usr/local/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --action
insert --datafile etc/upgrade/

I got the check-over RT_Config.pm part, but I don’t get the rest!! What do
I need to do here??

Thanks

Steve

From within the untarred 3.0.6 directory type ls etc/upgrade.

It’s going to list a file for 2.x.x (don’t have a connection to my RT box
at the moment so I don’t have the exact version). In this case you don’t
have to do anything. But, if it had listed a newer version, 3.0.5 for
example, you would run the rt-setup-database script passing in that
version’s data file.

Steve, there is new configuration variables went into RT_Config.pm.
You just have to look through it, and may be override with RT_SiteConfig.pm.

Okay so I did a ls /etc/upgrade and got 2.1.71. So I don’t have to do
anything?? What’s that number mean?

If you’re upgrading from before 2.1.71, it’s new database-based
configuration.
