FrontAccounting Update
Important Notes
- You can easily upload all the files to your installation folder on the
server overwriting the existing files, if you take these important
steps:
- Backup (download) the following files to another folder:
- config_db.php (contains information about the companies and
connection info).
- config.php (contains various settings. You only need to
backup this file if you have done manually changes to it.
- /lang/installed_languages.inc (contains information about the
installed languages)
- /modules/installed_modules.php (contains information about
installed modules)
- installed_extensions.php (contains information about installed extensions to the menu system)
- if you have made changes to other files, like themes or so, backup
these files too.
- Upload all the new files.
- Restore the files mentioned in #1. Be careful with
config.php. Look into variances. There might be new variables in
the new version. It might be easier to manually change your former values in
the new file.
- Rename or remove the /install folder (you have already performed the install
process earlier).
- When
updating release 2.0.X to release 2.1.X, you must immediately
login on company 0, the first company you created, as admin
(called the superadmin). If you use a theme other than the standard 3,
aqua, cool or default, switch to one of these before going further. You
can download a new one of the new themes on the download page. Go
to the 'Setup' tab and run 'Software
Upgrade'.
Mark the checkbox 'Install' and press 'Upgrade System'. This will
upgrade ALL your companies.
- If something goes wrong during upgrade, you can enter here again and try 'Force Upgrade', and press 'Upgrade System' again.
- There are no database changes during a major and minor release. Like from 2.1 to 2.1.1 - 2.1.5 .
- When
updating from release 2.1.2 to 2.1.3, please go into Bank and General
Ledger tab. Enter Account Classes. Change the Class Types to a proper
value for all classes.
- When updating from release 2.1.4 to 2.1.5, please go into Bank and General Ledger tab. Enter Quick Entries.
The Tax now uses Tax Types instead of Item Tax Types. The reason for changing this is for the complex rules inside the EU.
Change
to correct Tax Type. If you need more Tax Type lines in the same Quick
Entry, please group them together and use the same action type.
