List of files is difference between v1.0.5 and v1.0.6 only. There was a lot more changes since v1.0.4. You should follow these instructions with v1.0.6 files.

Update: I've update v1.0.6 upgrade instructions to avoid future confusion.

Is that not what I did? The files I list are those listed in the instructions for upgrading to 1.0.6.

As Canister said, you should:

1) Download V1.06
2) Back everything up
3) Follow the instructions for upgrading V1.0.4->V1.0.5, but use the files in V1.0.6

1. Unpacked the 1.0.6 zipfile, made a backup of my existing site.
2. Ran cp -Rpui corporate/for-upload/* activecollab_directory/ (where activecollab_directory is my site installation dir). When prompted by `cp`, I chose to overwrite only the following files:
* activecollab/application/ActiveCollab.class.php
* activecollab/application/modules/system/controllers/RolesAdminController.class.php
* activecollab/application/modules/system/models/project_groups/ProjectGroups.class.php
* activecollab/application/modules/system/views/roles_admin/_role_form.tpl
* activecollab/application/modules/system/views/roles_admin/add.tpl
* activecollab/application/modules/system/views/roles_admin/edit.tpl
* activecollab/application/modules/system/views/roles_admin/index.tpl
* public/assets/modules/system/stylesheets/main.css
3. Deleted the cache files

When I try and access the site, I'm told to remove the 'installer' directory, which I do (from public/installer ... had to figure that out myself). Then I'm given a fatal error about a missing class (I closed the tab so I'm not sure what it was).

Canister:
1) Download V1.06
2) Back everything up
3) Follow the instructions for upgrading V1.04->V1.05, but use the files in V1.06

Is that right?


Yes, it is.

I just want to make sure that I understand the upgrade instructions. Please tell me if I have the right idea:

1) Download V1.06
2) Back everything up
3) Follow the instructions for upgrading V1.04->V1.05, but use the files in V1.06

Is that right?

Thanks!

Even if svn won't work for everyone, it would be a nice option for the experienced admins who control many (or most?) AC installations.

Failing that, next time I'm going to try creating a .zip from the guts of the distro and unpacking it over the top of a working install (after backup db and files of course). I'll post here on how it goes.

FWIW, I consider WordPress an example of a web app that's incredibly easy/smooth to upgrade. Unpack the dist over the top of existing files and you're done - it never touches your custom files (themes, plugins, uploads, etc.)

These folders do not hold any of your data and can be simply overwritten with files form installation package. There is a lot of files there and it can take quite some time to upload all of them (especially if you can use only FTP). Because of that we post a list of changed files so you can upload just them instead of the whole archive.

I know that upgrading is not something that you do for fun (maintain a couple of webapps myself) so we are thinking about ways how we can design a system that is easy to upgrade. If would be good for both us (we can deliver more features and improvements easily) and our customers (don't need to manually upgrade their favorite app every couple of weeks). SVN is one of the possibilities, but it is not designed for that and only developers are familiar with it. We have a couple of ideas to play with so we'll see, just wanted to make clear that we understand that upgrade is a problem and want to improve the whole process.

PS: As a Mac user I just love the way desktop Mac apps are upgraded. Easiest thing ever... UNIX based web is way more complicated that Mac OS and does not have a build in upgrade mechanism but if we can deliver just a porting of that experience I will be really happy.
