Upgrade from 3.2 to 3.3

gpsuser8 years ago

Hello,

Tried to look for a guide on how to upgrade from 3.2 to latest 3.3 but cant find any.

Did I search in the wrong places ?

Is is better just to delete the 3.2 and make a fresh install ?

Thanks

Database schema update is now done automatically, so you should be able to install new version on top of the old one without any manual steps. Of course make sure to do backups if you have any valuable data stored in the database.

Thanks,

It says it is already installed and when I check in log it looks like it is still 3.2 snapshot. I just downloaded it and sudo ./traccar.run right ?

When I do this then Im not able to start traccar again.

Ignore the version in the log. For 3.3 it still shows old version (3.2).

What errors do you get when you try to start the service?

Hi Anton,

We managed to make it work. We removed the old version entirely and installed new one.

Didnt have any important info in DB.

Thanks

Hi, this is my process to update...

Stop Traccar service
Move install directory
Backup database (I use mysql, no problem detected, just the table names where renamed)
Edit configuration file as old installation
Start Traccar service
Check everything is fine

Best regards
