     3
     4== Instructions ==
     5
     6Typically, there are five steps involved in upgrading to a newer version of Trac:
     7
     8=== 1. Update the Trac Code === #UpdatetheTracCode
     9
     10Get the new version as described in TracInstall, or your operating system specific procedure.
     11
     12If you installed a recent 0.11 version of Trac via {{{easy_install}}}, it might be the easiest to use it also to upgrade you Trac installation.
     13
     14{{{
     15# easy_install --upgrade Trac
     16}}}
     17
     18If you do a manual (not operating system specific) upgrade, you should also stop any running Trac server before the installation. Doing "hot" upgrades is not advised, especially not on Windows ([trac:ticket:7625 #7265]).
     19
     20You may also want to remove the pre-existing Trac code by deleting the `trac` directory from the Python `lib/site-packages` directory, or remove Trac .eggs from former versions.
     21The location of the site-packages directory depends on the operating system, and the location in which Python was installed. However, the following locations are common:
     22 * on Linux: /usr/lib/python2.X/site-packages
     23 * on Windows: C:\Python2.X\lib\site-packages
     24 * on MacOSX: /Library/Python/2.X/site-packages
     25
     26You may also want to remove the Trac `cgi-bin`, `htdocs`, `templates` and `wiki-default` directories that are commonly found in a directory called `share/trac` (the exact location depends on your platform).
     27
     28This cleanup is not mandatory, but it makes it easier to troubleshoot issues later on, as you won't waste your time looking at code or templates from a previous release that are not being used anymore... As usual, make a backup before actually deleting things.
     29
     30If you had the webadmin plugin installed, you can now uninstall it as it is now part of the Trac code base.
     31
     32=== 2. Upgrade the Trac Environment === #UpgradetheTracEnvironment
     33
     34Environment upgrades are not necessary for minor version releases unless otherwise noted.
     35
     36After restarting, Trac should show the instances which need a manual upgrade via the automated upgrade scripts to ease the pain. These scripts are run via [TracAdmin trac-admin]:
     37{{{
     38trac-admin /path/to/projenv upgrade
     39}}}
     40
     41This command will do nothing if the environment is already up-to-date.
     42
     43Note that a backup of your database will be performed automatically prior to the upgrade.
     44This feature is relatively new for the PostgreSQL or MySQL database backends, so if it fails, you will have to backup the database manually. Then, to perform the actual upgrade, run:
     45{{{
     46trac-admin /path/to/projenv upgrade --no-backup
     47}}}
     48
     49If you are using custom CSS styles or modified templates in the templates directory of the TracEnvironment, you will need to convert them to the Genshi way of doing things. To continue to use your style sheet, follow the instructions at TracInterfaceCustomization#SiteAppearance.
     50
     51=== 3. Update the Trac Documentation === #UpdatetheTracDocumentation
     52
     53Every [TracEnvironment Trac environment] includes a copy of the Trac documentation for the installed version. As you probably want to keep the included documentation in sync with the installed version of Trac, [TracAdmin trac-admin] provides a command to upgrade the documentation:
     54{{{
     55trac-admin /path/to/projenv wiki upgrade
     56}}}
     57
     58Note that this procedure will of course leave your `WikiStart` page intact.
     59
     60=== 4. Resynchronize the Trac Environment Against the Source Code Repository ===
     61
     62Each [TracEnvironment Trac environment] must be resynchronized against the source code repository in order to avoid errors such as "[http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/6120 No changeset ??? in the repository]" while browsing the source through the Trac interface:
     63
     64{{{
     65trac-admin /path/to/projenv resync
     66}}}
     67
     68=== 5. Steps specific to a given Trac version  ===
     69==== Upgrading to Trac 0.11 ====
     70===== Site Templates =====
     71The templating engine has changed in 0.11, please look at TracInterfaceCustomization for more information.
     72
     73===== Trac Macros, Plugins =====
     74The Trac macros will need to be adapted, as the old-style wiki-macros are not supported anymore (due to the drop of [trac:ClearSilver ClearSilver] and the HDF); they need to be converted to the new-style macros, see WikiMacros. When they are converted to the new style, they need to be placed into the plugins directory instead and not wiki-macros, which is no longer scanned for macros or plugins.
     75
     76===== For FCGI/WSGI/CGI users =====
     77For those who run Trac under the CGI environment, run this command in order to obtain the trac.*gi file:
     78{{{
     79trac-admin /path/to/env deploy /deploy/directory/path
     80}}}
     81
     82This will create a deploy directory with the following two subdirectories: `cgi-bin` and `htdocs`. Then update your Apache configuration file `httpd.conf` with this new `trac.cgi` location and `htdocs` location.
     83
     84=== 6. Restart the Web Server === #RestarttheWebServer
     85
     86If you are not running [wiki:TracCgi CGI], reload the new Trac code by restarting your web server.
     87
     88== Known Issues ==
     89
     90=== parent dir ===
     91If you use a trac parent env configuration and one of the plugins in one child does not work, none of the children work.
     92
     93=== some core modules won't load ===
     94This can happen in particular with Python 2.3 on Windows when upgrading without uninstalling first.
     95Some modules were previously capitalized and were changed to lower case, e.g. trac/About.py became trac/about.py. You may find such messages in the Trac log:
     96{{{
     97ERROR: Skipping "trac.about = trac.about": (can't import "No module named about")
     98}}}
     99Remove the `Lib/site-packages/trac` folder and reinstall.
     100
     101=== Wiki Upgrade ===
     102`trac-admin` will not delete or remove default wiki pages that were present in a previous version but are no longer in the new version.
     103
     104
     105== Changing Database Backend ==
     106=== SQLite to PostgreSQL ===
     107
     108The [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/SqliteToPgScript sqlite2pg] script on [http://trac-hacks.org trac-hacks.org] has been written to assist in migrating a SQLite database to a PostgreSQL database
     109
     110== Older Versions ==
     111
     112For upgrades from versions older than Trac 0.10, refer first to trac:wiki:0.10/TracUpgrade.
     113
     114Note that downgrading from Trac 0.11 to Trac 0.10.4 or 0.10.5 is easy, but has to be done manually, e.g.
     115{{{
     116$ sqlite3 db/trac.db "update system set value=20 where name='database_version'"
     117}}}
     118(upgrade can be redone the normal way later on)
