[rt-users] Fwd: db upgrade rt 3.0.7 ->rt 3.6.5

[Drew Barnes]

>From the README:

7   If you're upgrading from RT 3.0 or newer:

     Read through the UPGRADING document included in this distribution.
    
     It includes special upgrade instructions that will help you get this
     new version of RT up and running smoothly.

     As a user with permission to install RT in your chosen installation
     directory, type:

       make upgrade   

     This will install new binaries, config files and libraries without
     overwriting your RT database.

     Update etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm in your RT installation directory.
     You'll need to add any new values you need to change from the defaults
     in etc/RT_Config.pm

     You may also need to update RT's database.  To find out, type:

       ls etc/upgrade

     For each item in that directory whose name is greater than
     your previously installed RT version, run:

       /opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --action schema \
           --datadir etc/upgrade/<version>
       /opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --action acl \
           --datadir etc/upgrade/<version>
       /opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --action insert \
            --datadir etc/upgrade/<version>

     Clear mason cache dir:
       rm -fr /opt/rt3/var/mason_data/obj

     Stop and start web-server.


It's all laid out in a pretty straightforward manner there.
