Upgrading H-Sphere to 2.4 Beta 7

 

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

  1. 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
  2. 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!
  3. 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}'`

  4. Run the update script by typing:
    # sh ./U24.0b7
  5. Note: The help shows. Choose what you want to update and follow the help.
  6. 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;
  7. Update mail servers for your system to support SpamAssassin 2.63 and ClamAV 0.67-1 by running:
    # mail
  8. If you have windows servers, update your Winbox to 2.4 beta 7.
  9. Start H-Sphere CP:
    Linux:
    # /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpdcp start
    FreeBSD:
    # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apachecp.sh start
  10. 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 &
  11. 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.
