System Update

To update the system click on the "Update" button. The system and all installed modules will be automatically updated. Bevor update is done the system maka a backup of itself and the database, to be able to be restored in case of unexpected problems.

Please note, backup of your assets (files, which are stored in the system) is not done.

Restore a System

If the update can not be completed due to some error, you need to restore the system. Please run this command: 

php composer.phar restore

You can force the restoration if the previous command does not help:

php composer.phar restore --force

You need to run the restore command as the webserver user, eg www-data, otherwise don't forget to change the ownership of the restored files.

Consideration of the Dependencies

During the update process the system installs the latest available module versions. It is possible, that some modules wil not be updated to the latest available version. The reason for it is the incompatibility of some of your modules with the newest version of the module you try to install.
