Upgrading the Developer Services portal

Developer Services Portal v. 4.16.05

This procedure describes how to upgrade an existing Apigee Developer Channel Services on-premise installation.

Default installation directory

The upgrade process assumes that the Developer Portal was installed at /var/www/html. If you did not install the portal in the default directory, modify the paths in the procedure below to use your installation directory.

If you do not know the installation directory, you can determine it as described in Commonly used Drush commands.

Supported upgrade versions

This upgrade procedure is supported for the following versions of the portal:

pantheon-4.24.216
pantheon-4.24.246
pantheon-14.02.x
pantheon-14.03.x
pantheon-14.04.x
pantheon-14.07.x
pantheon-15-01.x
OPDK-15-04.x
OPDK-15-07.x
OPDK-16-01.x

To determine your portal version, open the following URL in a browser:

http://yourportal.com/buildInfo

Note: If for some reason you removed the buildInfo file, then you can determine the version from the profiles/apigee/apigee.info file. The default install location is /var/www/html/profiles/apigee/apigee.info, but you might have changed it at install time if you installed the portal in a directory other than /var/www/html. The apigee.info file contains a line in the form below containing the version:

version = "OPDK-4.16.01"

Upgrading Apigee Developer Channel Services to a new release

Backup of your Drupal MySQL instance.
For more information, see http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/09/backup-and-restore-mysql-database-using-mysqldump/
1. Option 1: Use Drush
  
  The Drush command sql-dump creates a copy of the database. From your Drupal directory, /var/www/html by default, run the command:
  > drush sql-dump > /path/to/backup_dir/database-backup.sql
  
  Use drush help sql-dump for more information.
2. Option 2: Use MySQLdump
  Use the mysqldump command to create a copy of the database:
  mysqldump -u USERNAME -p'PASSWORD' DATABASENAME > /path/to/backup_dir/database-backup.sql
  
  There should be no space between the -p option and the password. Single quotes around the password are required if the password contains special characters.
  
  You set the USERNAME and DATABASENAME when you installed the portal. By default, both are devportal.
Make a backup of your entire Drupal web root directory. The default install location is /var/www/html, but you might have changed it at install time.
Download the Developer Channel Services DeveloperServices_x.y.z.tar file, where x.y.z corresponds to the portal version number.

You can download a file from the link sent to you by Apigee in a browser or by copying it and then adding it to the following cURL command:
> curl -kOL <paste link here>

Note: If your portal is on a server with no external Internet connection, perform this step on a server with access.

Go to http://community.apigee.com/content/apigee-customer-support and select Login to your Support Portal to request the Developer Channel Services upgrade .tar file. If you do not have an account on the Support Portal, select Login to your Support Portal and then on the sign in page select In a hurry? Raise a support ticket here.
For an upgrade on a server with an Internet connection:
1. Extract the portal upgrade file:
  > tar -xvf <tar file>
  
  This command extract creates a new directory called DeveloperServices-4.x.y.z.
2. Change to the DeveloperServices-4.x.y.z directory.
3. Download the latest Drupal version by using the following command:
  > drush dl drupal
  
  This command creates a directory named drupal-x.y, where x.y corresponds to the current version of Drupal.
4. Run the networked-update.sh script:
  > ./networked-update.sh
  
  Depending on file permissions, you might have to use sudo to run this command, or run it as an administrator.
5. To receive notifications of Drupal updates, ensure that the Drupal Update manager module is enabled. From the Drupal menu, select Modules and scroll down to the Update manager module. If it is not enabled, enable it.
  
  Once enabled, you can see the available updates by using the Reports > Available Updates menu item.
  
  Use the Reports > Available Updates > Settings menu item to configure the module to email you when updates are available and to set the frequency for checking for updates.
For an upgrade on a server with no Internet connection:
1. On the server where you downloaded the Developer Channel Services DeveloperServices_x.y.z.tar file, extract the portal upgrade file:
  > tar -xvf <tar file>
  
  This command extract creates a new directory called DeveloperServices-4.x.y.z.
2. Change to the DeveloperServices-4.x.y.z directory.
3. Run the non-networked-update.sh script:
  > ./non-networked-update.sh
  
  Depending on file permissions, you might have to use sudo to run this command, or run it as an administrator.
  
  This command downloads all the necessary update files and packages them into a single file named devportal-update.tgz and writes the file to a location of your choosing.
4. Copy devportal-update.tgz to the target server, the one running the portal.
  Note: Do not copy the devportal-update.tgz to the web root of the target server.
5. Untar the devportal-update.tgz file to the current directory:
  > tar -xzf /path/to/devportal-update.tgz
6. Change to the developer-update directory.
7. Run the following command to install the update:
  > ./install-update.sh
8. Answer the prompts.

The upgrade is now complete.
