I - DOLIBARR INSTALL
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
If you have no technical knowledge, use Windows and you are looking for an
|
|
autoinstaller to install Dolibarr ERP/CRM in few clicks, you must download
|
|
DoliWamp (the all-in-one package of Dolibarr for Windows).
|
|
You can download it at:
|
|
http://www.dolibarr.org/downloads/cat_view/62-stable-versions
|
|
|
|
If you already have installed a Web server and a Mysql database, you can
|
|
install this version like this:
|
|
|
|
- Copy directory "dolibarr" and all its files inside your web server root,
|
|
or copy directory anywhere and set up your web server to use "dolibarr/htdocs"
|
|
as root for a new web server virtual host (second choice need to be web
|
|
server administrator).
|
|
|
|
- Create an empty file "htdocs/conf/conf.php" and set permissions for your web
|
|
server user (write permissions will be removed once install is finished).
|
|
|
|
- From your browser, call the dolibarr "install/" page. Url depends on choice
|
|
made on first step:
|
|
http://localhost/dolibarr/htdocs/install/
|
|
or
|
|
http://yourdolibarrvirtualhost/install/
|
|
|
|
- Follow instructions provided by installer...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
II - DOLIBARR UPGRADE
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
To upgrade Dolibarr from an old version to this one:
|
|
|
|
- Overwrite all old files inside old 'dolibarr' directory by files
|
|
provided into new version package.
|
|
|
|
- If you came from version x.y.z to x.y.w (only third number differ),
|
|
there is no need to run any migrate process.
|
|
|
|
- If you came from a beta version or from any version x.y.z to any
|
|
other where x or y number differs, you must call the Dolibarr "install/"
|
|
page in your browser (this should be done automatically at first dolibarr
|
|
access).
|
|
This URL should looks like:
|
|
http://localhost/dolibarr/htdocs/install/
|
|
or
|
|
http://yourdolibarrhost/install/index.php
|
|
|
|
Then choose the "update" option according to your case.
|
|
Note: Migrate process can be ran safely several times.
