Backup your current DMS in a safe place (your store point, your DMS database, and your DMS directory)
Uncompress the package in a temporary directory. Copy the resulting DMS directory over your running DMS directory (with all files and subdirectories)
Edit localspm/spmserver.php and set back your 'spmroot' to your original location (check your original file whats the value for the variable $spmroot).
Edit localspm/spmservice.php and set a secret value for variable $spm_passphrase, e.g. $spm_passphrase='yourpassphrase'; (check your original file whats the value for the variable $spmpassphrase)
Edit conf/edms.php and set back your setting (check your original file whats the values for the existing variables).
Edit conf/edms.php and set configure the new settings related to this version:
Search engine:
- $searchcontent=true; -- Set to true or false to activate search engine facilities
- $searchextensions=array('txt','pdf','doc','html','htm','xml'); -- List of file extensions that the search engine can recognize (you can only remove items from this list if required)
- $workingdir='c:/temp'; -- Set the Path of a working directory in which Apache has read/write/delete access permision
- $pdftotextpath='c:/dmsutils/pdftotext/pdftotext.exe'; -- Set the Path to pdftotext executable, so that the search engine can call it
- $antiwordpath='c:/dmsutils/antiword/antiword.exe'; -- Set the Path to antiword executable, so that the search engine can call it
Version numbering
- $DMSvnumbering=0; -- Set to 0 or 1 (0 means versions will be displayed as vX and start at 1, 1 means versions will be displayed as rXX and start at 00
External reference to DMS documents
- $DMSanonymousineveryone=false; -- Set if anonymous user is part of everyone group, meaning that access to documents configured with Everyone permission are accessible without login
- $DMSanonymousbypasssecurity=false; -- If true, any document can be accessed from outside eDMS without login
Push back from your backup the following config files:
- dbaccess.php, language.php, spmclientconfig.php
- If you modified pictures and html files then copy back these files also
- Remove createadmin.php for security reason
- Use the file DMS/edms_upgrade_from_203_to_204.sql to update your database under mySQL. For other RDBMS, translate these SQL instructions to create your database. If your database is not called dms, update the instruction 'use' of file .sql consequently).
