View source for Upgrade FusionPBX/4.x

== Upgrading FusionPBX ==

Fusion includes a self upgrading function under Advanced > Upgrade and in version 4 this is a fairly straight forward process, however if you are moving from one major version to another (e.g. 4.0 to 4.2) you should check the specific instructions [http://docs.fusionpbx.com/en/latest/advanced/upgrade.html].

=== Maintenance Upgrades ===

Used when staying on the same major version but upgrading the code e.g. 4.3.0 -> 4.3.2
Although it is possible to select all options all at once, most people find it more preferable to run them one by one, then if there is a failure it won't try and continue on.

==== Step 1: Upgrade Page ====

Navigate to '''GUI -> Advanced -> Upgrade'''

if it fails it will show the result

otherwise you will get a message showing success

==== Step 3: Schema ====

The Schema reads the database definition and checks it against the current database and makes updates where required.
Select Schema and press execute. ''of note: you don't normally need the Data Types selected unless you are performing a major upgrade or following the development branch (master)''

As with source code updating it will display the result and a message to let you know if it worked or if there were problems.

==== Step 4: App Defaults ====

App Defaults allows each application to perform it's upgrade routines and fill in any missing settings that might now be required, it is also used as a diagnostic repair routine.
Select App Defaults and press execute.

As with source code updating it will display the result and a message to let you know if it worked or if there were problems.

==== Step 5: Menu Defaults ====

This will return the system defined Menu's back to the 'factory state' so if you have modified the defaults you will '''loose your changes''' and will need to reapply the changes you have made.
Select Menu Defaults and press execute.

As with source code updating it will display the result and a message to let you know if it worked or if there were problems.

==== Step 6: Permission Defaults ====

This will return the system defined Permission's back to the 'factory state' so if you have modified the defaults you will '''loose your changes''' and need to reapply the changes you have made.
Select Permission Defaults and press execute.

As with source code updating it will display the result and a message to let you know if it worked or if there were problems.
