FAQ: Upgrading to Teamwork 5

I assume that you are using the installed version on a server with a graphical user interface. Proceed in this way:

• do a complete backup of version 4

• install Teamwork 5 in a different location (use "advanced installation") and make it point to a new empty database on the same database server

• stop the service it will have created. Open WEB-INF/config.properties of version 4, copy the lines

  user=...

  password=...

  url=...

(eventually also schemaName) to the WEB-INF/config.properties of version 5 - overwrite those lines.

• start Teamwork 5 service, it will update the database schema an data.

You may need to configure your Teamwork again from the admin page (e-mail configurations and default values). Another option is to merge the old global.properties files with the new one that you find here:

TEAMWORK_ROOT/webapps/ROOT/commons/settings
