XF 1.5 Upgrading to xf2 via command line

[dieg0]

Hello,

I'm about to upgrade to xf2 but after carefully reading the manual there's no mention about the command line upgrader https://xenforo.com/xf2-docs/manual/install-upgrade/

My forum has 4 million posts and 1.5 million members so I wanted to make sure that /install is the way to go before actually upgrading

Thanks!

If you wish to use the CLI then you can run this on the command line:

php cmd.php xf:upgrade

That needs to be run from within your XF root.

Hi Chris,

What would you recommend?

The only issue we found with the command line upgrader is that the "apache" user owned all the files so we ran into permission issues when trying to run the upgrade as a different user. It all ran fine but we had to go back to the web interface to do the final template rebuild.

I would be root if I use the command line-
