Update manager
Menu: Maintenance / Update manager
Your TE3 will periodically check for updates (once a day). If there is an update available, there will be an exclamation icon displayed next to Maintenance
drop down menu:
There are two methods for upgrading TE:
- Update TE3 from the admin panel (recommended method)
- Update TE3 using
install.php
(alternative method)
Update TE3 from the admin panel
Navigate to Maintenance / Update manager: it displays your current TE3 version and possible updates available. If there is an update available click Update
button. You can also update other sites in your network - select sites from the multiple select box.
Update TE3 using ''install.php''
If you are not able to update TE3 directly from the “Admin panel” (due to server permissions, etc.), you can perform update using install.php
. This method is almost the same as “new installation” procedure:
- Step 2: Read the changelog to see if there are any special things to consider
- Step 4: Extract the installation package you have downloaded and upload
install.php
into yourpublic_html/te3/
directory in binary mode. Chmodinstall.php
to 755
- Step 5: Point your browser to http://www.yourdomain.com/te3/install.php and follow the instructions.
- Step 6: After the installation is completed, you must delete
install.php
(recommended), or chmod it to 0.
- Step 7: It is advisable to test if
.htaccess
protection is working properly (read more about .htaccess protection test here).
Installation program “install.php” detects that TE3 is already installed on your site and therefore it won't perform new installation, it will only update your TE3 in a way that avoids overwriting any user content - it will update binary (php
) files and convert file database if necessary, your data will remain intact.
