Upgrade From 2.3.1 to 2.3.2

This page provides information on how to upgrade from VCL 2.3.1 to VCL 2.3.2. Please note it only applies for the upgrade from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2, this may or may not work for other versions.

The basic steps that will be performed

Download and Extract 2.3.2 code
Shutdown httpd and vcld services
Create backup of vcl database
Update Web code, create a backup, copy in new, make changes
Restart httpd service
Update Management node vcl code, create a backup, copy in new, make changes
Restart vcld service

There are no updates to the VCL database schema between 2.3.1 and 2.3.2.

Detailed steps for upgrade from 2.3 to 2.3.2

follow instructions on the VCL download page to download and verify apache-VCL-2.3.2.tar.bz2 and put in in /root
extract VCL 2.3.2 code
```
tar xjf apache-VCL-2.3.2.tar.bz2
```

Shutdown the httpd and vcld services

service httpd stop or /etc/init.d/httpd stop
service vcld stop or /etc/init.d/vcld stop

We will create a backup of the vcl database. This will provide a restore point if necessary.
```
mysqldump vcl > ~/vcl-pre2.3.2-upgrade.sql
```
Update the web code. This step we will move the 2.3 web directory out of the way, so we can copy in the new web code base. After copying in the new code, we will migrate your configuration changes. These instructions assume that you installed the vcl web code at /var/www/html/vcl. If you installed it elsewhere, replace /var/www/html/vcl with your vcl web root.
```
cd /var/www/html
mv vcl ~/vcl_2.3_web
```

Copy the new code in place

cd /root/apache-VCL-2.3.2
cp -r web /var/www/html/vcl

Copy your 2.3 config files

cd ~/vcl_2.3_web/.ht-inc
cp conf.php secrets.php pubkey.pem keys.pem /var/www/html/vcl/.ht-inc

Make the maintenance directory writable by the web server user. Normally this is the apache user, if using a different user change below cmd accordingly.
```
chown apache /var/www/html/vcl/.ht-inc/maintenance
```

Restart httpd service

service httpd start or /etc/init.d/httpd start

Update management node code This step will make a backup copy of the 2.3 vcl code base and then copy the new code over the existing code to preserve any drivers or other files you’ve added.
```
cd <your vcl MN code root path>
ie. cd /usr/local/
cp -r vcl ~/vcl_2.3_managementnode
```
Copy in the 2.3.2 code base to /usr/local, copying in should preserve any drivers or other files you’ve added.
```
/bin/cp -r /root/apache-VCL-2.3.2/managementnode/* /usr/local/vcl
```
Run install_perl_libs.pl to add any new perl library requirements:
```
/usr/local/vcl/bin/install_perl_libs.pl
```

Restart vcld service

service vcld start or /etc/init.d/vcld start

Make some test reservations and watch the vcld.log to verify everything is working correctly.
```
tail -f /var/log/vcld.log
```
