If you are using Linux or if you are upgrading just the FileCloud application, you can upgrade your installation using the steps below.

Custom settings in configuration files that are replaced during upgrade are not reset in the new configuration files.

Check If the following files are replaced with newer versions during upgrade, and in the case that they are replaced, reconfigure any custom settings after upgrade:

C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-filecloud.conf

Updating Systems That Cannot Connect Outside

If your FileCloud server cannot connect to our update server to download the packages directly, you can download file_cloud.zip to a local folder and update your installation using the local path.

  1. Open the WWWROOT\config\cloudconfig.php file and edit the following entry, for example, if the zip folder is located in c:\users\administrator\Downloads folder, then simply modify it as follows:

    define("TONIDOCLOUD_UPDATE_URL_OVERRIDE","file://C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Downloads\\file_cloud.zip");
  2. Right-click the following:
    https://patch.codelathe.com/tonidocloud/live/installer/file_cloud.zip
    and save it into the local folder where the zip contents are extracted.

Updating Linux Systems 

In Linux, live admin UI upgrade is not possible due to OS security restrictions. However, the update zip can be downloaded and then upgraded.
Before the upgrade, make sure to disable SELinux. Download the upgrade zip file and assign rwx permissions to the file_cloud.zip file and its parent folder. For example, if your zip path is /opt/fcupgrade/file_cloud.zip, then do the following:

Linux Permissions
cd /opt
chmod 777 fcupgrade
chmod 777 file_cloud.zip

Then open the WWWROOT\config\cloudconfig.php file and update the value of the following entry with your zip file location.

define("TONIDOCLOUD_UPDATE_URL_OVERRIDE","/opt/fcupgrade/file_cloud.zip");
