upgrade to version 5.5

Hi,
when can we expect stack with the latest version – 5.5 ?

I’ve tried to upgrade the linux stack but nothing happens after uploading the ZIP file, it just return me to index page.

Thanks for letting us know, we will try to update soon.

And soon is approximately when?

Hi,

We updated SugarCRM to 5.5.0 on December the 23th, two days later of this post :)

That would appear to be a re-install – is there an upgrade?

To update the application you have two options:

1. Install the new Stack and backup/restore the database. You can find a quick guide at http://bitnami.com/article/how-to-backup-and-up…
Although this guide is for Redmine application, the backup/restore is similar.

2. Download the source code of the new application, copy in the apps/sugarcrm/htdocs folder and follow the upgrade steps that the application requires.

Cheers

I am using a MAMP base withe SugarCRM 5.5stack. Recently SugarCRM released version 5.51. According to the instructions provided by SugarCRM for upgrading to version 5.51, two changes to the php.ini file must be made.

1) post_max_size must be changed from 6M to 20MB or greater.
2) upload_max_filesize must be changed from 6M to 20MB or greater.

Once I made these two changes I noticed that ySQL started to time out repeatedly or cause other errors, to solve the problem I had to return back to the origional php.ini settings.

Is there something I am missing? The instructions for the upgrade can be found here – http://www.sugarcrm.com/crm/support/documentati…

thank you in advance.

Hi,

It seems that it requires also to increase the MySQL maximum allowed packet. Try to add this value in the"_installdir_/mysql/my.cnf" (or my.ini for Windows) file and restart the database.

max_allowed_packet = 20M

It worked!

Do you advise leaving the changed settings as-is, or do you think it is best for me to revert to the former settings?

Hi,

It is ok now, this configuration allow to upload large files to the application or write in the database. it is not necessary to revert the changes.
