Problem Updating Redmine to 3.2.0

Posted March 2, 2016 6.4k views

I am trying to upgrade my Redmine 3.0.7 that was installed from the oneclick install to the newest stable version, 3.2.0. However, when I try to run svn update, it says it is updated, but doesn’t show as updated in the info on the site. I tried to follow the information here:

You can checkout the latest stable source with one of the following commands:

Subversion

svn co https://svn.redmine.org/redmine/branches/3.2-stable redmine-3.2
It will create a directory named redmine-3.2 and you’ll be able to update your Redmine copy using svn update in this directory.

But it didn’t work. Any help would be much appreciated.

    To test this I just spun up a Redmine server using the one-click image. Looking over our scripts used to generate the image indicates that it should be the 3.2-stable version that is installed:

    svn co http://svn.redmine.org/redmine/branches/3.2-stable /srv/redmine

    Running svn update from the /srv/redmine directory resulted in the output below which indicates that the stable install has been updated to a newer revision.

    On your droplet what output are you seeing when you attempt to update?

    Thanks for checking on it! What I have is an older version because I started my droplet a few months ago. I used the prebuild one click image still but it must have been an older version, however now that I try and update it using svn update, it updates to the newest revision, but not the newest version of Redmine. I am thinking that it must be some svn setting but I’m not sure. Thank you for your help so far!

Hi @Nickthegoatboy!

In order to upgrade to a newer version of Redmine, specifically 3.2, you will need to switch to the 3.2-stable SVN branch and then perform the upgrade.

First off, I would recommend taking a snapshot of your Droplet so that you have a working state that you can restore in case anything goes wrong with the upgrade. If you can’t power off your Droplet to take a snapshot, you can back up the files and settings manually. All uploaded files should be stored in /srv/redmine/files. The database can be backed up by running the following command:

mysqldump -u root redmine | gzip > ~/redmine_db_backup.sql.gz

Then, switch to the newer SVN branch:

cd /srv/redmine
svn switch ^/branches/3.2-stable

Make sure all the requires gems are installed and up-to-date:

bundle update

Next, you’ll want to upgrade the database as well so that any changes in the database structure are applied to your existing database:

bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

Finally, clear the cache and restart Passenger. This will log out all users.

bundle exec rake tmp:cache:clear tmp:sessions:clear RAILS_ENV=production
touch tmp/restart.txt

You might also want to check out the Admin -> Roles & permissions page for any new permissions.

Let me know if you have any issues. I’ve just tested it on a Droplet and everything went fine - so I’m hoping that everything will go smoothly for you as well.
