Use these instructions to upgrade Review Board
to a latest build.
- TeamForge
16.3 supports
Review Board
2.0.11
on RHEL/CentOS 6.7 and 7.2.
- This procedure is for those who have Review Board already and are upgrading
Review Board to a latest build on
RHEL/CentOS 6.7 or 7.2.
- You may choose to upgrade Review Board on
the same server or on a new server.
- In this scenario, both TeamForge and
Review Board use PostgreSQL.
Log on to the server as root user always
-
Important:
Do this on the main TeamForge Application Server if you are upgrading
Review Board on the same hardware.
As
JDK is upgraded in TeamForge 16.3, you must
run the install.py script to update the JDK version in
/etc/reviewboard.properties file.
Run the install.py script available in the Review Board
installer directory.
- cd /var/ops/RBInstaller-1.8.0.0.12
- sudo python ./install.py -i -r
--auth-scmuser
Attention: The Review Board installer pauses
abruptly on sites using trusted certificates expecting user intervention.
Press Enter to proceed with the installation/upgrade.
Do this on the main TeamForge Application Server. We'll call this
my.app.box.

Important:
Do this if you are upgrading Review Board on new hardware.
Back up your Review Board data directory
if you are upgrading TeamForge and
Review Board on a new server. The
Review Board database is backed up
already when you have upgraded TeamForge. So, it is not necessary to take a back up of the Review Board database again.
-
Back up the Review Board data
directory.
- cd /opt/collabnet
- tar -zcvf /tmp/reviewboard_data.tgz
reviewboard
-
Copy the /tmp/reviewboard_data.tgz file to the
/tmp directory of the new server.
-
Download the Review Board installer zip
file from http://collab.net/downloads/integrations#tab-1 and save it in the
/opt/collabnet folder
-
Unzip the RBInstaller-1.8.0.0.12.zip
file.
- cd /opt/collabnet
- unzip RBInstaller-1.8.0.0.12.zip
-
Modify these values in the
install.conf file to suit your installation
environment.
- vi /opt/collabnet/RBInstaller-1.8.0.0.12/installer/install.conf
