Important Notes:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ejabberd 2.1.0 requires Erlang R10B-9 or higher.
|
||||||
|
R12B-5 is the recommended version. Support for R13B is experimental.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Upgrading From ejabberd 1.x.x:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Check the Release Notes of the intermediate versions for additional
|
||||||
|
information about database or configuration changes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Upgrading From ejabberd 2.0.x:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The database schemas have three changes since ejabberd 2.0.x.
|
||||||
|
Check the database creation SQL files and update your database.
|
||||||
|
1) New table roster_version to support roster versioning.
|
||||||
|
2) Six new tables for optional pubsub ODBC storage.
|
||||||
|
3) Some tables in the MySQL database have a new created_at column.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- As usual, it is recommended to backup the Mnesia spool directory and
|
||||||
|
your SQL database (if used) before upgrading ejabberd.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Between ejabberd 2.0.0 and 2.0.5, mod_pubsub used "default" as the
|
||||||
|
default node plugin. But in 2.1.0 this is renamed to "hometree".
|
||||||
|
You have to edit your ejabberd config file and replace those names.
|
||||||
|
If you used ejabberd 2.0.5 or older, the database will be updated
|
||||||
|
automatically. But if you were using ejabberd from SVN, you must
|
||||||
|
manually run ejabberdctl with the command: rename_default_nodeplugin.
|
||||||
|
Running this command on already updated database does nothing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The listener options 'ip' and 'inet6' are not documented anymore
|
||||||
|
but they are supported and you can continue using them.
|
||||||
|
There is a new syntax to define IP address and IP version.
|
||||||
|
As usual, check the ejabberd Guide for more information.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The log file sasl.log is now called erlang.log
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ejabberdctl commands now have _ characters instead of -.
|
||||||
|
For backwards compatibility, it is still supported -.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- mod_offline has a new option: access_max_user_messages.
|
||||||
|
The old option user_max_messages is no longer supported.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- If you upgrade from ejabberd trunk SVN, you must execute this:
|
||||||
|
$ ejabberdctl rename_default_nodeplugin
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Default installation directories changed a bit:
|
||||||
|
* The Mnesia spool files that were previously stored in
|
||||||
|
/var/lib/ejabberd/db/NODENAME/*
|
||||||
|
are now stored in
|
||||||
|
/var/lib/ejabberd/*
|
||||||
|
* The directories
|
||||||
|
/var/lib/ejabberd/ebin
|
||||||
|
/var/lib/ejabberd/priv
|
||||||
|
and their content is now installed as
|
||||||
|
/lib/ejabberd/ebin
|
||||||
|
/lib/ejabberd/priv
|
||||||
|
* There is a new directory with Erlang header files:
|
||||||
|
/lib/ejabberd/include
|
||||||
|
* There is a new directory for ejabberd documentation,
|
||||||
|
which includes the Admin Guide and the release notes::
|
||||||
|
/share/doc/ejabberd
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- How to upgrade from previous version to ejabberd 2.1.0:
|
||||||
|
1. Stop the old instance of ejabberd.
|
||||||
|
2. Run 'make install' of new ejabberd 2.1.0 to create the new directories.
|
||||||
|
3. Copy the content of your old directory:
|
||||||
|
/var/lib/ejabberd/db/NODENAME/
|
||||||
|
to the new location:
|
||||||
|
/var/lib/ejabberd/
|
||||||
|
so you will have the files like this:
|
||||||
|
/var/lib/ejabberd/acl.DCD ...
|
||||||
|
4. You can backup the content of those directories and delete them:
|
||||||
|
/var/lib/ejabberd/ebin
|
||||||
|
/var/lib/ejabberd/priv
|
||||||
|
/var/lib/ejabberd/db
|
||||||
|
5. Now try to start your new ejabberd 2.1.0.
|
||||||
