I'm a little concerned as it's the first time I've upgraded MantisBT, and a number of tweaks have been made to the original 25.5 (new statuses, modified workflow sequences, etc). I'm prepared to deal with that aspect, but now I have a more basic question:
Our web root is (unsurprisingly) /var/www/html, and mantisbt is a directory within that. The upgrade instructions talk about downloading the tarball, extracting it to mantisbt-2.26.1, and then renaming it to something easier. It later implies that the new version has been renamed to mantis-NEW:
Code: Select all
Execute the upgrade script. From your web browser, access
https://yoursite/mantisbt-NEW/admin/install.phpWhat it doesn't make clear is how it (or I) am going to wind up with the new version in mantisbt and the old version in (e.g.) mantisbt-OLD.
Is it going to do this in the install script? Am I supposed to change the directory name after the install completes? Or does this all happen auto-magically? I have hundreds of user's bookmarks pointing at https://mysite/mantisbt -- I guess I could setup a redirect if I had to.
Thanks as always for all help,
Paul
