Note
Before upgrading CKAN you should check the compatibility of any custom themes or extensions you're using, check the changelog, and backup your database. See upgrading
.
The process for upgrading a source install is the same, no matter what type of CKAN release you're upgrading to:
Activate your virtualenv and switch to the ckan source directory, e.g.:
cd /src/ckan
Checkout the new CKAN version from git, for example:
git fetch git checkout release-v2.0
If you have any CKAN extensions installed from source, you may need to checkout newer versions of the extensions at this point as well. Refer to the documentation for each extension.
Update CKAN's dependencies:
2.1 In CKAN 2.0 and earlier the requirements file was called
pip-requirements.txt
, notrequirements.txt
as below.pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
Register any new or updated plugins:
python setup.py develop
If there have been changes in the Solr schema (check the
/changelog
to find out) you need to restart Jetty for the changes to take effect:sudo service jetty restart
If you are upgrading to a new
major release <releases>
update your CKAN database's schema using thedb upgrade
command.For example:
paster db upgrade --config=
See
paster db
for details of thedb upgrade
command.Rebuild your search index by running the
ckan search-index rebuild
command:paster search-index rebuild -r --config=
See
rebuild search index
for details of theckan search-index rebuild
command.Finally, restart your web server. For example if you have deployed CKAN using the Apache web server on Ubuntu linux, run this command:
- You're done!
You should now be able to visit your CKAN website in your web browser and see that it's running the new version of CKAN.
