-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.

+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.
