Updating

Server Upgrade

Ensure software update checks are enabled in Settings → General

When there is an upgrade availabe, navigate to Modules and click Update Core.

This process will automatically download the latest facilemanager-core package and extract it in the document root. The next step is to update the database which forces all authenticated users to logout and only super-admin users can upgrade the database.

Note

Ensure your document root for facileManager is writable by the web server user.

Example

sudo chown -R www:www /var/www/html/facileManager

Alternative Method

1. Make a backup of your database manually or by using the built-in tool via the UI (Admin → Tools).
2. Make a backup of your config.inc.php file.
3. Delete your old facileManager files.
4. Extract/upload the new files from the server directory.
5. Copy your backup of config.inc.php to the document root. (i.e. /var/www/html/facileManager/)
6. Login as a super-admin to facileManager and follow the wizard to upgrade your database.
7. Once fM is upgraded, you will be redirected to the admin-modules page where you can upgrade your modules individually.

Client Upgrade

You can update the clients through the UI (Config → Servers)

...or by running the following on the clients:

sudo php /usr/local/facileManager/<module_name>/client.php upgrade

Alternative Method

1. Make a backup of your config.inc.php file.

   cp /usr/local/facileManager/config.inc.php .

2. Move the contents of the client directory to /usr/local/ on your client servers to manage.

   sudo mv facileManager/client/facileManager /usr/local/

3. Restore your backup of config.inc.php to /usr/local/facileManager.

   sudo mv config.inc.php /usr/local/facileManager
