1. Download the latest activeCollab release

The latest release is available to download from your activeCollab.com profile page:

2. Upload new files

Files and folders that need to be uploaded are:

  • /activecollab (entire folder)
  • /config/defaults.php
  • /public/assets (entire folder)
  • /public/upgrade (entire folder)
  • /public/captcha.php
  • /public/index.php
  • /public/restore.php
  • /public/thumb.php

Please check out this short article to learn how to upload files without making the system unusable.

3. Create new folders

If one of these folders is missing, please created them and make sure that they are writable:

  • /thumbnails
  • /work

4. Clear Cache

To clear the cache, please delete all cch_ files from the /cache and remove all %% files from the /compile folder.

5. Update Clean URL-s Tweak

If you are using the .htaccess tweak to have clean URLs please update your .htaccess and config files to include rules from this page (thumb.php rule is added).

6. Run the Upgrade Script

Go to the /upgrade link in your setup (for example, if you have installed activeCollab on www.example.com/projects the upgrade script will be located at www.example.com/projects/public/upgrade) and follow the on-screen instructions. In this step, the activeCollab upgrade utility will upgrade your database to the latest version.

Please remember this step!

Note

If you are getting a "System configuration option 'format_datetime' does not exist" error, than your upgrade script is most probably located in /public/upgrade instead of just /upgrade!
