Upgrading LedgerSMB 1.7.x to 1.7.y

Submitted by ehu on

Upgrading tarball installations

There are two steps to upgrading a LedgerSMB 1.7.x installation to 1.7.y (x smaller than y):

  1. Upgrade the software
  2. Upgrade the company database

The last step has to be executed for each company database that's set up.

Note that all the steps below are prefixed with the 'sudo' command, but these can be executed as 'root' directly as well.

Upgrading the software

This is by far the easiest part. These are the steps to go through, assuming an installation from tarball:
