Upgrading Stash 2.3.1 to 2.7.latest - any pitfalls?

jcurleyWR

I am planning to upgrade our stash server from 2.3.1 to 2.7.2. Are there any in-between upgrades that I should do?

We are using the mysql database.

I have seen the notes about backing things up, after stopping the stash and mysql services.

Thank you.

Hi John,

Our in-application upgrade should handle the relevant migration from any previous version of Stash.

However, there might be unforseen problems and we highly recommend backing up everything before performing any upgrade, just to be on the safe side. Posting this here just for completeness (and others).

Just to double-check, did you see the warning at the bottom of that page about MySQL and binary logging?

Cheers,

Charles
