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-data:www-data /var/www/html/facileManager
  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 modules page where you can upgrade your modules individually.

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

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