# ProcessWire Upgrade
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Provides core and module upgrade notifications and optionally
|
||
|
|
installation from the admin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Can be used to upgrade your ProcessWire core or any module that
|
||
|
|
is available from <https://processwire.com/modules/>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Requires ProcessWire 3.x
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Please note before using this tool
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Files installed by this tool are readable and writable by Apache,
|
||
|
|
which may be a security problem in some hosting environments.
|
||
|
|
Especially shared hosting environments where Apache runs as the
|
||
|
|
same user across all hosting accounts. If in doubt, you should
|
||
|
|
instead install core upgrades and/or modules and module upgrades
|
||
|
|
manually through your hosting account (FTP, SSH, etc.), which
|
||
|
|
is already very simple to do. This ensures that any installed files
|
||
|
|
are owned and writable by your user account rather than Apache.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Even if you don't use this tool to install the upgrades, this tool
|
||
|
|
is still useful in identifying when upgrades are available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Core Upgrades
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This tool checks if upgrades are available for your ProcessWire installation.
|
||
|
|
If available, it will download the update. If your file system is
|
||
|
|
writable, it will install the update for you. If your file system is
|
||
|
|
not writable, then it will install upgrade files in a writable
|
||
|
|
location (under /site/assets/cache/) and give you instructions on
|
||
|
|
what files to move.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Options to upgrade from the master or dev branch are available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This tool makes versioned backup copies of any files it
|
||
|
|
overwrites during the upgrade. Should an upgrade fail for some
|
||
|
|
reason, you can manually restore from the backups should you
|
||
|
|
need to.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After installing a core upgrade, you may want to manually update
|
||
|
|
the permissions of installed files to be non-writable to Apache,
|
||
|
|
depending on your environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Module Upgrades
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Uses web services from modules.processwire.com to compare your
|
||
|
|
current installed versions of modules to the latest remote
|
||
|
|
versions available. Provides upgrade links when it finds newer
|
||
|
|
versions of modules you have installed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After installing module upgrades, you may want to manually update
|
||
|
|
the permissions of installed files to be non-writable to Apache,
|
||
|
|
depending on your environment.
