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 Beta 7. If your H-Sphere is lower than 2.3.1 Patch 9, please
update to this version first.
IMPORTANT:
- This version is not yet stable and should not be installed on production servers or systems
with over 1000 accounts.
- Don't forget to upgrade Winbox to 2.4 beta 7 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.
- Update mail servers to support SpamAssassin 2.63 and ClamAV 0.67-1:
# mail
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
- Download 2.4 Beta 7 installation package from the Positive Software site:
Make sure the target directory doesn't contain any other U24.0b7 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 by typing:
# sh ./U24.0b7
Note: The help shows. Choose what you want to update and follow the help.
- To perform update, run:
# update - to update H-Sphere to version 2.4 beta 7 and Site Studio to version 1.6 RC 3;
You can also run:
# hsupdate - to update H-Sphere only to version 2.4 beta 7;
# ssupdate - to update Site Studio only to 1.6 RC 3;
- Update mail servers for your system to support SpamAssassin 2.63 and ClamAV 0.67-1 by running:
# mail
- If you have windows servers, update your Winbox to 2.4 beta 7.
- 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 &
- Check the version of H-Sphere:
# cat ~cpanel/shiva/psoft_config/hsphere.properties | grep HS_VERSION
You will see a line similar to this:
Where:
2.4.0 is the version of H-Sphere,
420 is H-Sphere build,
You can have a later build of version 2.4.0.
