This document explains how to upgrade your Baïkal installation

Upgrading Baïkal

1. First thing, if you are using MySQL, backup your database. If you are using SQLite, your db file is in the Specific folder, backup this folder.
2. Rename your Baïkal root folder. For example from /var/baikal to /var/baikal-old
3. Download and unzip baïkal to exact folder of your old installation: /var/baikal in our example.
4. Replace the folder baikal/Specific (the new one) by baikal-old/Specific (the old one) (even for MySQL)
5. If working on SSH, apply correct ownership/permissions to files.
   1. For the ownership, you can refer to the old installation baikal-old. Use ls -l baikal-old/ command to see the ownership (for example root:www-data), and then set them with sudo chown -Rf root:www-data baikal
   2. For the permissions, you can execute the following command: sudo chmod -Rf 770 baikal
6. Using your browser, navigate to your baikal admin, the Upgrade wizard should start.
