XF 2.2 Upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 from command line?

[daimpa]

Hello, I've a big board, 1.5M posts. I've 2.1 + security fix and want to upgrade to 2.2. (My license is expired, will renew it soon)
Should I run the upgrade from the admin panel, or is it reccomanded from command line? Where can I find the tutorial?

If necessary the ACP will prompt you to upgrade via the CLI.

The limits are 500k posts or 50k members.

For a forum with 1.5 million posts, definitely via CLI.

There are some alters on the post table which won't work well using the web browser upgrader.

Thanks! Is there any tutorial?

For upgrading via CLI?

You just need to cd to where XF is installed and run php cmd.php xf:upgrade

As always, take a backup before upgrading and ensure there are compatible newer versions of any add-ons and styles you have installed.

To hook in here. There is no download option if upgrading via CLI?

You can do the download using the built in upgrader, then run the upgrade via CLI.

Thats not the best solution, but if its works for now okay. I will create a sugegstion to download it via CLI.

Edit: Here it is:

Download Upgrade via CLI

I would like to perform also the download of an addon direct with CLI instead of downloading via ACP like described here: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/upgrade-from-2-1-to-2-2-from-command-line.186404/#post-1469597 So you can perform the complete upgrade process at one place.

Pleas, how?

today I clicked on update in the AdminCP and after download the system starts direct the install, which is not a good idea...

Do you ever recommend using "sudo"? I tried running that command and got some permissions errors (I think there were some folders that my user didn't have access to) and I tried it again with sudo and it seemed to work.

sudo is a root term, if your not logged in as root it may be required. Be careful...
