Migration from 8.5.1 to 8.6

📦 Install & Upgrade Help
5

Hey @matteoraggi,

To upgrade between 8.x versions you just need to use the regular package of the version you want to upgrade to, in your case SuiteCRM-8.6.0.zip. There is no separate upgrade package, as stated on the 2.1. Download the new version package section of the upgrade guide.

NOTE: Before the upgrade please make sure to go through the steps and checks on the following sections:

A summary of what you need to do is:

  1. Create folder tmp/package/upgrade within your instance root folder

    • i.e. a the same level as the core or the public

  2. Copy the SuiteCRM-8.6.0.zip to the new tmp/package/upgrade folder

  3. Go to back the root folder of your instance and run the steps:

    • please note that in the following commands you need to replace the variables between < >
    • By the way, I always run permissions before and after each step, as the following steps show just to make sure…
sudo chmod -R <your_permissions> .
sudo chown -R "<your_user>:<your_group>" .
sudo chmod +x bin/console


php bin/console suitecrm:app:upgrade -t "SuiteCRM-8.6.0"

sudo chmod -R <your_permissions> .
sudo chown -R "<your_user>:<your_group>" .
sudo chmod +x bin/console

php bin/console suitecrm:app:upgrade-finalize -t "SuiteCRM-8.6.0"

sudo chmod -R <your_permissions> .
sudo chown -R "<your_user>:<your_group>" .
sudo chmod +x bin/console
  1. Restart your apache server if needed.
