Setup, Configuration and Use News & Important Changes

Thanks NoTechi for your description. Unfortunately that road was no option for me as I have to many things and items defined i both the database and files. By the way,I’m trying to upgrade snap-shot #657 to #692

Instead I tried to “decipher” the script files for linux and come up with this procedure:

  1. Backup your Openhab2 folder (you need files from there in a moment)
  2. Download and unzip the new distro. Rename the folder to whatever you usually call your openhab folder. I my case OpenHAB2
  3. Make a COPY of the newly created OpenHAB2 folder. (you need files from there in a moment)
  4. Copy the “conf” folder from your old openhab2 folder (the backup) to the new OpenHAB2 folder
  5. Copy the “userdata” folder from your old openhab2 folder (the backup) to the new OpenHAB2 folder
  6. Copy all /userdata/etc/*.properties files from the new openHAB2 COPY folder to the OpenHAB2 folder (step 3)
  7. Copy all /userdata/etc/org.apache,karaf., files from the new openHAB2 COPY folder to the OpenHAB2 folder (step 3)
  8. Remove the files in the /userdata/cache folder.

First I missed to clear the cache. The software started but it was still the old #657 version!! At least it was what is showed on screen. I don’t know if this is the right way to go as I don’t exactly know the function of the cache, but i seems to work!

The new version has only been running for 1 hour now so I it is too early to say everything is ok but at least it is a step forward :slight_smile:
