Upgrading MySource Matrix from v3.14.1 to v3.14.2

Introduction

This guide will help you upgrade an existing MySource Matrix version 3.14.1 installation to version 3.14.2.

This upgrade requires you to have access to:

  • update the MySource Matrix source code
  • upgrade MySource Matrix configuration files

This guide assumes that your MySource Matrix installation is located at /home/websites/mysource_matrix. Please change any commands to the appropriate location if your installation is located elsewhere.

If your system contains the commercial or premium modules, please contact Squiz for updated versions of the modules before proceeding with the upgrade.

The modules must be upgraded at the same time as the core system.

Backup

Before starting any upgrade, always backup your MySource Matrix installation. See the MySource Matrix backup management guide for information on how to backup your MySource Matrix system.

Getting the New Source Code

The first thing you need to do is update the MySource Matrix source code. You can find out how to download the latest stable version of MySource Matrix on the installation page.

Once you have downloaded the source code, you need replace the existing code with the newer version. This will not reset any configuration options or remove any content from your system.

These steps assume MySource Matrix is installed at /home/websites/mysource_matrix and that a tar.gz archive with the new source code exists within /home/websites 
$ cd /home/websites
$ mv mysource_matrix mysource_matrix_3-14-1
$ tar -xzvf new_source.tar.gz
$ cd mysource_matrix
$ cp -r /home/websites/mysource_matrix_3-14-1/data .

Full System Upgrade

First, the system's installation scripts should be run to ensure the asset types and language translations are up to date.

$ php install/step_02.php /home/websites/mysource_matrix
$ php install/step_03.php /home/websites/mysource_matrix
$ php install/compile_locale.php /home/websites/mysource_matrix

Designs Containing Linked CSS Design Areas

You should reparse any designs containing a Linked CSS design area. This resolves an issue relating to the operation of this design area during rollback mode.

Structured Asset Info Reports

Previously, setting the root node of a Structured Asset Info Report asset was optional, and leaving it blank made it search the entire system. As of this version, selecting a root node is now compulsory - leaving it empty will generate an error when the report is next generated. If any Structured Asset Info Report assets exist without a root node, you will need to select one for it.

Upgrade Complete

Your upgrade to MySource Matrix version 3.14.2 should now be complete.
