Common steps

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

  1. Make a backup of your supervisord file:

     sudo cp |MAYAN_SUPERVISOR_CONF| |MAYAN_SUPERVISOR_CONF|.bck

  2. 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=|MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT| \ |MAYAN_BIN| platformtemplate supervisord > |MAYAN_SUPERVISOR_CONF|"

    or:

     sudo sh -c "MAYAN_DATABASES=\"{'default':{'ENGINE':'django.db.backends.postgresql','NAME':'mayan','PASSWORD':'mayanuserpass','USER':'mayan','HOST':'127.0.0.1'}}\" \ MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT=|MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT| \ |MAYAN_BIN| platformtemplate supervisord > |MAYAN_SUPERVISOR_CONF|"

  3. Edit the supervisord configuration file and update any setting specific to your installation:

     sudo vi |MAYAN_SUPERVISOR_CONF|

  4. Migrate existing database schema with:

     sudo -u mayan 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=|MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT| \ |MAYAN_BIN| performupgrade

    or:

      sudo -u mayan MAYAN_DATABASES="{'default':{'ENGINE':'django.db.backends.postgresql','NAME':'mayan','PASSWORD':'mayanuserpass','USER':'mayan','HOST':'127.0.0.1'}}" \  MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT=|MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT| \ |MAYAN_BIN| performupgrade

  5. Add new static media:

     sudo -u mayan MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT=|MAYAN_MEDIA_ROOT| \ |MAYAN_BIN| preparestatic --noinput

The upgrade procedure is now complete.
