Upgrade from version 1.2 to 1.2.1

We have a few steps below that must be followed sequentially to successfully upgrades an installed, unmodified, playSMS version 1.2 to playSMS version 1.2.1.

Essentially upgrades means that:

1. You backup old files and database
2. Then you get the new version and replace all old files
3. Then you upgrade the database with SQL upgrade file from new version

Skim this article from top to bottom before start. Follow them correctly and in order.

Let's start.

1. Stop current playSMS daemon

   playsmsd stop
   playsmsd check

2. Backup everything related to installed playSMS 1.2

   Backup playSMS database:

   • playSMS DB as SQL file, example DB name is playsms:

     mysqldump -u root -p --add-drop-table playsms > playsms.sql

     Please note that the option --add-drop-table above is very important, do not miss it.

   Backup playSMS files and folders:

   • playSMS daemon script is /usr/local/bin/playsmsd
   • playSMS daemon config is /etc/playsmsd.conf
   • playSMS files are located at web folder /var/www/html/playsms

   WARNING:

   • Backup process is very important
   • Do not continue if you have any hesitation
   • Ask a lot if you have doubt
   • You must make sure that you know how to restore them

3. Copy files from playSMS version 1.2.1 to replace old files

   Download playsms-1.2.1.tar.gz from Sourceforge, visit playSMS Download for more information.

   tar -zxf playsms-1.2.1.tar.gz -C /usr/local/src
   ls -l /usr/local/src/
   cd /usr/local/src/playsms-1.2.1/
   cp -rR web/* /var/www/html/playsms
   cp daemon/linux/bin/playsmsd.php /usr/local/bin/playsmsd
   chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/playsmsd

4. Upgrade DB

   SQL upgrade file is available on playsms-1.2.1.tar.gz.

   mysql -uroot -p playsms < db/playsms-upgrade_1.2_to_1.2.1.sql
