Preparing the Upgrade

Important

• Never ever on live site!

• Use a copy of live site for upgrade!

• Make sure you have a backup!

Your Choice:

• Clean-up installation, then make copy

• faster, but changes in live site

• Make copy, then clean-up installation

• safer, but slower

Clean-up first: smaller database and project to copy, but you make changes in live system !Copy-first: you are on the safe side, but copying takes longer

Creating a Copy

• Copy complete project file structure

Creating a DB Copy

• Create new, empty database

• Collation: utf8_general_ci

• Duplicate the database: mysqldump --opt -u user1 -ppassword1 olddatabase | mysql -u user2 -ppassword2 newdatabase

in typo3conf: !../../tools/mysqldump --opt -u root -psecret muster-45 | ../../tools/mysql -u root -psecret muster-t3dd14 !if database host is NOT 127.0.0.1, you need to specify host with -h host

Finalize Copy

• Create new domain (virtual host) and update domain records accordingly

• localconf.php (or Install Tool): Enter new database parameters

• TypoScript: Adjust baseURL

Clean Up Installation• Remove local, uninstalled Extensions

Remove installed, unused Extensions

in our example we removed: lorem_ipsum, veguestbook, timtab, adminpanel, sbaccessiblecontent, lib, div

when you try to delete an extension, the number of records in the database will be shown

Obsolete Extensions

• May work in 6.2, but logfiles can’t be created anymore

Clean Up Installation

!

• Run Database Analyzer in Install Tool

• Update Required Tables

• Remove unused tables

Remove unused Tables

Shrink Database

• Decrease table size:

• cache_ …

• cachingframework_ …

• cf_ …

• sys_log, sys_stat, …

• tx_realurl_errorlog, …

SQL statement TRUNCATE will empty a table, DROP will delete a table

For other tables: use phpmyadmin !For very large tables: delete (drop) table and re-create via install tool (compare table structure)

Update Extensions for 4.5

Extension Versions (4.5)

Warning during Upgrade TYPO3 Version

Deprecation Log

Namespacingtypo3/sysext/core/Migrations/Code

for IDE:

Check PHP Version

• TYPO3 4.5, 4.6 work with PHP 5.2-5.5

• TYPO3 4.7 and higher require PHP 5.3-5.5

some old extensions my not be compatible with PHP 5.3+ !update realurl Extension

Enable Error Display

Check ExplicitAllow/Deny

Important: if setting in field explicitADmode is empty, you need to change it to explicitDeny !in TYPO3 6.2, default is explicitAllow

Reference Index

Make sure that all internal Database references are up-to-date !Using shell: make sure that path to php-cli version is correct !Make sure that user _cli_lowlevel exists

Reference Index

Smooth Migration

• Make sure that extensions extbase and fluid are installed

• Install extension smoothmigration

• Create BE user _cli_smoothmigration

• Reload Backend

smoothmigration extension can be used in TYPO3 4.5-4.7, after upgrading to 6.2 you can uninstall it

Smooth Migration

Overview

Run the checks first, then switch to „Report“. Note that the spinner during „Check“ will never stop, so just start the „Check“ process, wait a minute or so and then look up the „Report“

Database utf-8

In most cases you can’t change the MySQL server setting yourself, you need to make sure to use the forceCharset and setDBinit settings in the Install Tool correctly (see next slide)

Database utf-8

Important: if you change these settings, you may end up with unpredictable results in your database. It may be necessary to convert the database to UTF-8 format!

require_once

changed in cron_printlink (pi1, pi2) and sr_language_menu (pi1) !other occurrences will be fixed after updating extensions

Change Symlink

• Change to new TYPO3 version:typo3_src -> typo3_src-6.2.x

• Update index.php in DOC_ROOT

Updating index.php only necessary if not symlinked !

Go to Install Tool

if from BE „no input file specified“: use URL project/typo3/install instead !if connection to DB fails with IP 127.0.0.1, use localhost instead !Note: on jweiland.net Hosting Packages the DB server is at 127.0.0.3 !
