Update Guide

This page will guide you through the update procedure of your Easy!Appointments installation. You will need to follow the steps below in order to have successful results.

  1. Backup your files and database! This number one rule is very important for all computer systems and tools. If something breaks in your installation you might have a hard time to restore it without a backup.
  2. Copy and replace the new Easy!Appointment version files in your installation directory WITHOUT REPLACING THE config.php FILE. This is the only file that does not need to be replaced in all versions.
  3. Open your browser and head to the following URL http://url-to-ea-installation/index.php/backend/update (needs admin authorization). You should then see a "SUCCESS" message which means that your database has been successfully patched and you can now use the new version!

If by chance you get a 500 Internal Server Error message then you must check the error log files of your server. These kind of errors comes mostly due to problematic server configuration (permissions, credentials etc).

Updating from v1.0 to v1.1.x

Many core files were changed in v1.1 and it would be better if you replace all the Easy!Appointments files of version 1.0 with the new ones. Use the data of the old configuration.php file in the new config.php and open the http://url-to-ea-installation/index.php/backend/update as already mentioned. Your new version should work just fine!

This document applies to Easy!Appointments v1.2.
