Upgrading

18.1 Release Requirements:

  • Only PHP 7.1.x is supported (The following are not supported: PHP 7.2.x, anything less than PHP 7.1 )

The following instructions detail how to upgrade your installation.

As always, make a full backup of your existing installation before upgrading.

Upgrading FileCloud to 18.1 in Windows

You will have to do a full upgrade to 18.1.

Upgrading FileCloud to 18.1 in Linux 

If you are using Ubuntu versions earlier than 16.04 or Older versions of Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora, we don't have a script to upgrade your installation to 18.1
You will need to migrate your FileCloud installation manually to Ubuntu 16.04 or Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora that supports PHP 7.1 or greater with the new MongoDB driver to use FileCloud 18.1


Please make a full backup of your server before running this script.
