To ensure, that all required configuration file changes will be applied to the Open-Xchange packages, you need to leave the original files as they are and the <tt>postinst</tt> mechanism will automatically apply all new configuration options to the existing configuration files. Existing configuration parameters will not be automatically updated and need to be reviewed manually.
and run


You can do that in answering all the questions like e.g. this
$ yum update


  Configuration file `/opt/open-xchange/etc/groupware/system.properties'
  $ yum upgrade
  ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
  ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
    What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D    : show the differences between the versions
      Z    : background this process to examine the situation
  The default action is to keep your current version.
*** system.properties (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?


with the default answer "N".
{{RestartAfterUpdate}}


Note: this will not replace the existing configuration files. Depending on the new Open-Xchange version you're installing it is mandatory that configuration options shipped with the new packages are taken over to the configuration. This can be done by using <tt>diff</tt> on the currently installed configuration and the updated configuration files which are copied to the configuration directory and have the file extension <tt>.dpkg-dist</tt>.

If you don't want to do that every time, you could tell apt-get to answer this question for you, just cut and paste the following command in a shell as root user:

Updating Open-Xchange Server packages

This article describes how to update Open-Xchange Server packages from one service pack to another.

How to get updates?

Open-Xchange Server 6 updates can be accessed by customers with a valid license for

  • OX SE
  • OX HE

You need to configure the OXReportClient.

Please note: The update to v6.22 is only supported from an installed version 6.20.7 or later. If you have an earlier version of Open-Xchange Server 6 installed, please update to the latest release of v6.20 before attempting an update to v6.22.

Updating Open-Xchange Server Packages 6.20.x

Installing Updates

A new service pack usually introduces new packages and requires configuration changes. To get all required new packages and configuration changes, the following must be done when installing updates.

On Debian based distributions

Add the following entry to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/open-xchange.list 

deb http://LDBACCOUNT:LDBPASSWORD@software.open-xchange.com/OX6/updates/backend/DebianJessie/ /
deb http://LDBACCOUNT:LDBPASSWORD@software.open-xchange.com/OX6/updates/frontend/DebianJessie/ /

Then run 

$ apt-get update

$ apt-get dist-upgrade

If you want to see, what apt-get is going to do without actually doing it, you can run: 

$ apt-get dist-upgrade -s

After the new packages are installed, the groupware and admin process needs a restart: 

$ /etc/init.d/open-xchange-groupware restart
$ /etc/init.d/open-xchange-admin restart

NOTE: Please take care, that you do not restart Open-Xchange during the process where it updates it's database. A database update can happen after installing minor or major updates. As soon as the first user tries to log in to the system or if any provisioning action is done, this update starts.

On RPM based distributions

RHEL6/CentOS6

Add the following entry to /etc/yum.repos.d/ox.repo: 

[ox-updates]
name=Open-Xchange Updates
baseurl=http://LDBACCOUNT:LDBPASSWORD@software.open-xchange.com/OX6/updates/backend/RHEL6/

gpgkey=http://software.open-xchange.com/oxbuildkey.pub

and run 

$ yum update

$ yum upgrade

After the new packages are installed, the groupware and admin process needs a restart: 

$ /etc/init.d/open-xchange-groupware restart
$ /etc/init.d/open-xchange-admin restart

NOTE: Please take care, that you do not restart Open-Xchange during the process where it updates it's database. A database update can happen after installing minor or major updates. As soon as the first user tries to log in to the system or if any provisioning action is done, this update starts.

and run 

$ yum update

$ yum upgrade

$ /etc/init.d/open-xchange-groupware restart
$ /etc/init.d/open-xchange-admin restart

If you want to update an older version of Open-Xchange Server v6 to the latest maintenance release, add the following entries to the repository list. Replace VERSION with the version you are using (e.g. 6.22.6, 6.22.7). See AppSuite:Version_Support_Committment for the currently supported versions. Also, make sure that your repository configuration points at the versioned base installation repositories (instead of using the 6.22/stable symlink.)

You might need to run 

$ zypper ref

to update the repository metadata before running zypper up.

After the new packages are installed, the server process needs a restart:

NOTE: Please take care, that you do not restart Open-Xchange during the process where it updates it's database. A database update can happen after installing minor or major updates. As soon as the first user tries to log in to the system or if any provisioning action is done, this update starts.
