Warning: - This how-to is applied for Centos 7 and RHEL 7 x86_64 only. - This repo uses software collection, please make sure that your box is running to provide only Pydio service. It may break other services due to php version.

Pydio 7 and its dependencies require PHP version >= 5.6. However, centos 7/rhel 7 are still support PHP 5.4 as official version. That's why we have to use extra repos to pack with Pydio 7. For more information about software collection, please visit: rh-php56

Upgrading from Pydio 6.4.2

Warning: If you've installed Pydio before, please backup your sytem or take a snapshoot before upgrade.

Update the whole system

yum update -y

Upgrade pydio only

yum update pydio-core pydio-enterprise

Note: if you have issue with samba dependancies, try to execute following commands: rpm -e --nodeps samba4-client rpm -e --nodeps samba4-common

Post install/upgrade.

This step is required to reconfigure Pydio, apache and php. Because the system now contains multiple version of apache and php, we should do:

  1. Disable default apache and php5.4
  2. Enable new apache and php5.6
  3. Migrate configuration of php5.4, old apache to new version

Disable default apache:

service httpd stop
chkconfig httpd off

Enable new apache:

chkconfig httpd24-httpd on
service httpd24-httpd start

Enable php56

source /opt/rh/rh-php56/enable

Enable httpd24-http

source /opt/rh/httpd24/enable

Now you can verify the PHP version by typing the command in terminal windows:

[root@localhost ~]# php -v
PHP 5.6.5 (cli) (built: Aug 30 2016 13:52:26)
Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies
    with the ionCube PHP Loader (enabled) + Intrusion Protection from ioncube24.com (unconfigured) v6.0.5, Copyright (c) 2002-2016, by ionCube Ltd.
    with Zend OPcache v7.0.4-dev, Copyright (c) 1999-2014, by Zend Technologies

Software Collection use different location than default to deploy software base on its version. And new location for PHP56 is:

Equivalent paths between default and software collection version

file default version Softwarecollection version
php.ini /etc/php.ini /etc/opt/rh/rh-php56/php.ini
php cli /usr/bin/php /opt/rh/rh-php56/root/usr/bin/php
php module configs /usr/lib64/php/modules /opt/rh/rh-php56/root/usr/lib64/php/modules
apache module configs /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/ /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/
pydio.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/pydio.conf /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf.d/pydio.conf

If you upgrade from Pydio 6.4.2, and php.ini was changed, you should change such parameters in new php.ini as well: /etc/opt/rh/rh-php56/php.ini

Update database

All sql script is store in /usr/share/doc/pydio/sql, you can execute following commands to upgrade your exited DB. The script for updating DB can be downloaded:

For example:

mysql -u username -p databasename < path/7.0.0.mysql

Change the version number:

mysql> UPDATE ajxp_version SET `db_build`="66";

Others configurations

PHP.ini parameters

Following parameters should be reconfigured in /etc/opt/rh/rh-php56/php.ini (not /etc/php.ini)

Example:

max_execution_time = 300
post_max_size = 200M
upload_max_filesize = 200M
output_buffering = Off

Then restart apache

service httpd24-httpd restart

MariaDB

In this how-to, we take an example of using MySQL to store all configuration of Pydio.

Install mariadb:

yum install mariadb mariadb-server

Start mariadb service at boot time

systemctl enable mariadb
systemctl start mariadb

Run secure installation

mysql_secure_installation

Enter mysql command line

mysql -u root -p

Execute following commands to create database for pydio

create database pydio;
create user 'pydio'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
grant all privileges on pydio.* to 'pydio'@'localhost';
flush privileges;
