Upgrade PP 5.7 - 6.0 (Linux)

To upgrade your PoolParty installation, follow the steps described below.

PoolParty's automated upgrade process for GNU/Linux hosts makes this process a breeze.

STEP 1: Stop the PoolParty Server

STEP 2: Run the Installer PoolParty.run From a Terminal Window

This will open a dialogue in the terminal. By hitting Enter you start the process.

STEP 3: Start Upgrade Mode

In the next step choose to do an upgrade entering option '2' and hitting Enter.

STEP 4: Confirm the PoolParty Application Directory (PPAppDir) and the Location for the PoolParty Data Directory (PPDataDir)

In this step you can provide the path for your PoolParty application directory (default: /opt/poolparty).

Enter the path of your installation if different than /opt/poolparty and hit Enter or just hit Enter to use the default path.

If a PPDataDir is found in the PPAppDir the upgrade just skips the next step.

If your installation has a separate path for the PPDataDir enter the path and hit Enter.

STEP 5: Confirm Upgrade Settings are Correct

You will be presented with an overview of the settings you made. You can then finalize the upgrade process by hitting Enter.

STEP 6: Start the PoolParty Server

Clear browser cache

You have to clear your browser cache after the upgrade as changes to CSS and javascript used in the PoolParty UI have been done.

Run Post Update Scripts

After you login into PoolParty for the first time after the upgrade, you have to run the PoolParty migration script:

The script lists all updates that will be done. Trigger the migration by clicking Start Migration.

A progress bar and an info box show the progress and status of the migration. When the process has been finished an overview of the migration steps per project is provided.

Recalculate Extraction Models

Changes to the configuration of the PoolParty extraction model have been done. You have to recalculate all extraction models after the upgrade.
