Common steps

Perform these steps after updating the code from either step above.

Make a backup of your supervisord file:

 sudo cp /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan.conf.bck

Update the supervisord configuration file. Replace the environment variables values show here with your respective settings. This step will refresh the supervisord configuration file with the new queues and the latest recommended layout:

 sudo sh -c "MAYAN_DATABASE_ENGINE=django.db.backends.postgresql MAYAN_DATABASE_NAME=mayan \ MAYAN_DATABASE_PASSWORD=mayanuserpass MAYAN_DATABASE_USER=mayan \ MAYAN_DATABASE_HOST=127.0.0.1 MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT=/opt/mayan-edms/media \ /opt/mayan-edms/bin/mayan-edms.py platformtemplate supervisord > /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan.conf"

Edit the supervisord configuration file and update any setting the template generator missed:

 sudo vi /etc/supervisor/conf.d/mayan.conf

Migrate existing database schema with:

 $ mayan-edms.py performupgrade

Add new static media:

 $ mayan-edms.py preparestatic --noinput

The upgrade procedure is now complete.
