ERPNext Upgrade to Version 5

Step 0: Configure Barracuda

This step is only required if you ran the install script before 25th March, 2015

Create

• /etc/mysql/conf.d/barracuda.cnf in case of Debian/Ubuntu or
• /etc/my.cnf.d/barracuda.cnf in case of CentOS / RedHat

with the contents,

[mysqld]
innodb-file-format=barracuda
innodb-file-per-table=1
innodb-large-prefix=1
character-set-client-handshake = FALSE
character-set-server = utf8mb4
collation-server = utf8mb4_unicode_ci

[mysql]
default-character-set = utf8mb4

Step 1: Update bench-repo

As the frappe user,

cd ~/bench-repo
git pull

Step 2: Upgrade

cd ~/frappe-bench
bench update --upgrade

This will take time.

Step 3: Restart services

If you've setup for production, run

service nginx restart
supervisorctl reload

as root.

Also, with version 5, the command line has changed, run

cd ~/frappe-bench
bench --help
