Upgrading FogBugz for Unix

Upgrading is very similar to an install.  Follow these steps to upgrade your FogBugz installation to FogBugz 6.

These instructions assume your FogBugz installation is at /opt/fogbugz.

  1. Log on as root or issue the su command.
  2. Download the fogbugz-setup-php-[version].tar.gz file from the shop using your order number.  Save this file in a temporary directory such as /tmp.  The upgrade procedure will move the files to the correct installation point.
  3. tar zxf fogbugz-setup-php-[version].tar.gz
  4. cd fogbugz
  5. install.sh
    This will run the install script, which will detect the existing installation and ask if you want to upgrade it. If yes, it will check that you have the system requirements before copying over important files from your old install and backing your old install up to fogbugz.1 (or fogbugz.2, etc).
