Upgrade from Traccar 4.14 to 4.15 - However devices and accounts were not moved
You didn't follow the upgrade guide?
I removed the old traccar version and installed the new one.
I don't have a modified config file so didn't move or backup that.
However if I also need to backup and restore the database how can I do that with centos 7?
What database are you using?
The default one that came with Traccar when I first installed it, which was 4.7.
OK. It means you are using H2 database. You can just copy files as a backup.
Two important things:
- Don't use H2. Migrate to something else like MySQL.
- In version 4.15 the file format has changed, so you would need to do migration. Search forum.
Probably you deleted the old H2 database when installing new Traccar. That's one of the reasons not to use H2 but Mysql or something alike.
How can I move the existing H2 database data to a MySQL / mariadb database? Using CentOS 7 command line?
And how is file format migration done with CentOS 7?
Hi,
I use CentOS 7 and used this guide to remove and then install the new version:
https://www.traccar.org/linux/
Problem is that accounts and devices were not moved, so all was "new" without keeping devices and accounts from 4.14.
I don't use a manual configuration so not sure what I'm doing wrong or what went wrong.
Thanks for your help.
