BugList

Easy Bugtracking

Upgrading BugList

Step 1: Download BugList

Simply go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=92982 and pick the version you want.

Step 2: Unpack the archive.

On unix you can do this by typing tar -zxvf buglist-x.y.z.tar.gz (where x, y, and z are the major, minor, and build version, repsectively).

On Windows, you can e.g. unpack the downloaded archive using WinZip.

Step 3: Remove unwanted files

Remove the following files from the new distribution, i.e. NOT from your current installation:

  • src/buglist/.htpasswd
  • src/buglist/.htaccess

Remove the following directory from the new distribution:

  • src/buglist/setup
  • src/install

On unix, you can do this by typing rm -Rf src/buglist/.htpasswd src/buglist/.htaccess src/buglist/setup src/install from the buglist-x.y.z-directory.

Step 4: Copy the new files over the old files

Copy the contents of the src/buglist/-directory to your previous installation directory on your webserver, overwriting any existing files. You should now have 2 or 3 directories, admin, buglist, and maybe upgrade.

Step 5: Upgrade your database

Simply point your web-browser to the upgrade/ directory you just installed. In most cases, you will just point your web-browser to http://localhost/upgrade/.

If the upgrade-directory does not exist, you do not need to upgrade your database, and you can skip to the next step. Otherwise just follow the on-screen instructions. When you are done, remove the upgrade directory.

Step 6: Test your new installation

Point your browser to the buglist/ directory. In most cases, you will just point your web-browser to http://localhost/buglist/.

You can now try to add bugs, assign bugs, etc.
