This document explains how to upgrade H-Sphere from 2.3.1 Patch 9, any of 2.3.2 versions,
or earlier 2.4 betas to 2.4 RC 1. If your H-Sphere is lower than 2.3.1 Patch 9, please
update to this version first.
This candidate includes ability to create custom XML files by means of XML Merger, adds improvements in 2CheckOut merchant gateway and more.
IMPORTANT:
- Don't forget to upgrade Winbox to 2.4 RC 1 to ensure correct performance
of Windows-based hosting.
- The upgrade won't work without a valid H-Sphere license. Please check if you have enough licenses to
cover all accounts in the system.
- Before update, remember that H-Sphere supports the following operation systems:
Linux RedHat (7.2, 7.3, RHES 2.1, RHWS 2.1, RHAS 2.1, RHWS3, RHES3, RHAS3) and FreeBSD (versions 4.7, 4.8, 4.9)
- For correct performance of WebShell4, you must have 1.3.29 apache update.
Procedure
- Make sure to have H-Sphere 2.3.1 Patch 9 or an earlier 2.4 beta installed:
# cat ~cpanel/shiva/psoft_config/hsphere.properties | grep HS_VERSION
If you have an older version, contact support@psoft.net
or read how to upgrade from previous versions.
- Download 2.4 RC 1 installation package from the Positive Software site:
# wget http://www.psoft.net/shiv/HS/U24/U24.0RC1/U24.0RC1
Make sure the target directory doesn't contain any other U24.0RC1 file!
- Stop H-Sphere using one of the following commands:
Linux:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpdcp stop
FreeBSD:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apachecp.sh stop
To stop SiteStudio, stop Imaker by running:
# kill -9 `ps -axw|grep imaker.sh |grep -v grep|awk '{print $1}'`
# kill -9 `ps -axw|grep ImageMaker|grep -v grep|awk '{print $1}'`
- Run the update script:
# sh ./U24.0RC1
You will see a help window with a prompt to enter update options.
To update H-Sphere to version 2.4 RC1 and Site Studio to version 1.6 RC 3, enter:
update
To update only H-Sphere to version 2.4 RC1, enter:
hsupdate
To update only Site Studio to 1.6 RC 3, enter:
ssupdate
Later you'll be able to add more servers or services to the cluster by following the
Adding Servers and
Adding Services manuals.
- If you have windows servers, update your Winbox to 2.4 RC1.
- Start H-Sphere CP:
Linux:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpdcp start
FreeBSD:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apachecp.sh start
- Start ImageMaker:
Linux:
# /hsphere/shared/SiteStudio/imaker.sh >& /hsphere/shared/SiteStudio/var/error_log 2>&1 &
FreeBSD:
# /hsphere/shared/SiteStudio/imaker.sh >& /hsphere/shared/SiteStudio/var/error_log &
If the update breaks SiteStudio demo, follow the
Troubleshooter.
- Check the version of H-Sphere:
# cat ~cpanel/shiva/psoft_config/hsphere.properties | grep HS_VERSION
You will see a line similar to this:
HS_VERSION = 2.4.0.422.20040420
Where:
2.4.0 is the version of H-Sphere,
422 is H-Sphere build,
20040420 is the build date (in YYYYMMDD format)
You can have a later build of version 2.4.0.
