Important Notes
-
-
- - You can easily upload all the files to your installation folder on the
-server overwriting the existing files. From 2.2 RC, your existing configuration files, - config_db.php, config.php, /lang/installed_languages.inc and installed_extensions.php - will nolonger be installed. They are created the first time you install FrontAccounting and don't need further updates.
-
- Backup (download) the following files to another folder:
-
- if you have made changes to other files than above mentioned, like themes or so, backup
-these files.
-
-
- - Upload all the new files.
-
- Look into the file, config.default.php and compare with your own config.php file. You should update the the following in your config.php:
- Rename or remove the /install folder (you have already performed the install
-process earlier).
-
-
-
-
- - There are no database changes during a major and minor release. Like from 2.2 to 2.2.1 - 2.2.X .
- If you are upgrading from an earlier installation 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
-later. Go
-to the 'Setup' tab and run 'Software
-Upgrade'.
-Mark the checkbox 'Install' and press 'Upgrade System'. You must
-also do this if you upgrade from 2.2 Beta to 2.2 RC. 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.
- Enter
-'Setup' tab, 'System and Generel GL Setup'. Set the correct
-Accounts for Retained Earnings, Profit/Loss Year and Bank Charge.
- Enter
-'Setup' tab, 'Access Setup'. Check all the roles and change as you
-please. The roles have been converted from the former Access Roles and
-may need some changes.
- Enter
-'Setup' tab, 'Company Setup'. If you want Automatic Item Price
-Calculations from Standard Cost, add a percent to add and
-eventually round to the nearest XX Cent. Also check that Base for Auto
-Price calculations is set.

+FrontAccounting
+Update
+1. Application files update
+
+a. Source
+files update
+
+Extract distribution
+zip/tar.gz file in empty directory, and copy all the files to your
+FrontAccounting directory overwriting old files. If it is major
+release upgrade you can skip next step and go directly to cleanup.
+
+b. Configuration
+files update
+
+Compare new
+config.default.php
+file with the
+old
+config.php and
+add all new
+settings (if any).
+
+
+The following variables has been moved from config.default.php into sys_prefs table:
+
+$no_zero_lines_amount = 1;
+$show_po_item_codes = 0;
+$accounts_alpha = 0;
+$loc_notification = 0;
+$print_invoice_no = 0;
+$allow_negative_prices = 1;
+$print_item_images_on_quote = 0;
+
+These values can be maintained in Setup tab -> System and GL Setup.
+
+The following variables has been moved from config.default.php into sys_refs table:
+
+$alternative_tax_include_on_docs = 0;
+$suppress_tax_rates = 0;
+
+These values can be maintained in Setup tab -> Company Setup.
+
+The following variables has been moved from config.default.php into users table:
+
+$save_report_selections = 0;
+$use_date_picker = 1;
+$def_print_destination = 0;
+$def_print_orientation = 0;
+
+These values can be maintained in Setup tab -> Display Setup or Preferences.
+
+ Please also remove these variables from your existing config.php file
+2. Database upgrade
+This step can be
+skipped
+for small version updates i.e. when you have already installed
+FrontAccounting version 2.4 or later. Before database upgrade is
+done on all company databases backup file is created automatically to
+enable database restore after failure.
+After major version
+upgrade overwriting files in first step makes the system unaccessible
+for all users but site admin, who have to run upgrade procedures to
+update all company databases to the new version provided with the
+release. After logging to administrator account of first installed
+company go directly to Setup/Software Upgrade screen, mark all
+subsequent 'Install' checkboxes and press 'Upgrade System'.
+If something goes wrong during
+upgrade, you can eventually try forced upgrade option. Forced upgrade
+ignores some smaller errors which can arise during upgrade due to
+some exotic database configuration. This is depreciated option, so
+first read error messages if any, try to fix signalized problems,
+restore databases from backup and retry normal installation. To run
+upgrade in forced mode check box 'Force Upgrade', and press 'Upgrade
+System' again.
+3. Final cleanup
+Remove or rename install folder in main FrontAccounting
+directory.
+
4. New features configuration
+During upgrade process new features are initialized to default
+status, and sometimes old settings are also changed to conform with
+new security policy. This automatic process is designed to be as
+neutral for end users as possible, however sometimes site or company
+admin intervention can be necessary to set thing after changes to
+their best state. Below you will find description of new settings
+available after upgrade.
