danger

If Passwork is installed on a virtual or cloud OS, we recommend creating a snapshot of the operating system state to quickly restore Passwork functionality in case of errors.

Creating configuration file copy

The main Passwork parameters are specified in the config.ini configuration file. You need to create a copy of the file and save it in a separate or user's root directory:

cp /var/www/app/config/config.ini ./

Updating Passwork code and creating archive of the old version

Updating code

Rename the root directory of the Passwork code:

mv /var/www /var/copy_www

Create the www directory:

mkdir /var/www

Unzip the current version of the Passwork code into /var/www/:

unzip ./Passwork-xxxxxx.zip -d /var/www/

To check, display the version from the Passwork file:

cat /var/www/version

Move the config.ini configuration file and license key from the old version:

mv /var/copy_www/app/config/config.ini /var/www/app/config/
mv /var/copy_www/app/keys/passwork* /var/www/app/keys/

Creating archive of old version

Create an archive of Passwork with the version name in the /opt/ directory:

version=$(cat /var/copy_www/version) && zip -r /opt/${version}.zip /var/copy_www/

Delete the renamed directory with the old version of Passwork:

rm -rf /var/copy_www

Assign owner and set permissions

After creating the /var/www/ directory, you need to change the owner and set permissions.
