Upgrading your version of Miva Empresa
NOTE: These instructions are intended for people upgrading an existing
version of Miva Empresa to a more recent version. If you do not already have Miva Empresa installed on your
Virtual Private Server, see the installation
instructions.
We have designed a script to help make upgrading your version of
Miva Empresa as simple as possible. Because there are two
different versions of Miva Empresa available for use on your Virtual Private Server, please see the main
Miva Empresa information page to determine which
version is right for you.
If you are using Miva Merchant, you will need to upgrade the version of Merchant you are running at the same
time you upgrade your Miva Empresa version. Please note that major version upgrades (version 3.x to 4.x, for
example) require you to purchase an upgrade license from Miva before performing the upgrade. Miva Merchant
may not work if you upgrade Empresa without also upgrading to the appropriate version of Miva Merchant at the same
time.
Once you are ready to begin the upgrade, connect to your Virtual Private Server via
SSH and su to root. The first step you will need to do is back-up your
current version of Miva Empresa. To do this, run the following command.
% cp -R ~/usr/local/miva ~/usr/local/miva.backup
If you are using Miva Merchant, you will also need to back-up the directory where your store information is
located. Depending on which version of Miva Merchant you are using, the name of this directory may vary. Use the
cp -R command as illustrated above to create a copy of your store.
Once you have all your essential information backed up, you can run the upgrade script by running the following
command.
% vinstall miva-upgrade
The upgrade script will detect which version of Miva Empresa you currently have and list the available upgrade
options. Select the appropriate upgrade option, and the script will install the appropriate files and update the
information in your /www/conf/httpd.conf file.
After installing the new version of Miva Empresa, the upgrade script will ask you if you also want to upgrade
your version of Miva Merchant. If you are ready to upgrade Miva Merchant (you have already backed up your Merchant
information and have an upgrade license if applicable), select yes, otherwise select no.
Once you are certain that the upgraded version of Miva is working properly and that you have not lost any data
during the upgrade process, you may delete the back-ups from your server.
