Hi All,
we are looking for a safe and fast way to update our current version 1.1.8 to the latest mantis version without data loss or service discontinuity. we are thinking to install a new environment in parallel, configure all service, install the latest mantis stable version and than transfer all data and configuration, is there a guide or procedure that describe hot to do something like that?
thank you.
Daniele

- Export database on old server
- Import database on new server
- Download latest MantisBT and unpack it in the web root of the new server
- After that it's similar to upgrade an existing instance on a single server https://www.mantisbt.org/docs/master/en ... ml-desktop
If your attachments are stored in filesystem (not database): Copy your directories with attachments from your old web server to the new one.
The easiest way for it would be to use exactly the same directory structure.
