Installing WebMail 5.41 Patch
For a complete changelog on the new version see: changelog
Pre-upgrade:
Backup your existing webmail directory and mysqldump the database for WebMail. This should be completed before you upgrade in case you need to rollback any changes. Process Software recommends that you do not skip this step.
To install the patch follow the instructions below:
1: Place the patch into your web server document root and extract the patch into the directory for your WebMail installation:
cd /path/to/documentroot/
gunzip webmailpatch541-client.tar.gz
tar xvf webmailpatch541-client.tar
2: Change the ownership of the directory to the web server user. This is required for WebMail to save configuration files via the web and used during the patch install process. For example:
chown -R apache /path/to/documentroot/webmail/
Where /path/to/documentroot/webmail/ is the base directory of your installation (check if showmail.php exists in this directory. If so, you have the right one.)
3: Update the database and settings for 5.41
Visit the WebAdmin page of WebMail and append upgrade/ to the URL. This will guide you through the web-based upgrade utility:
e.g. http://www.example.com/webmail/webadmin/upgrade/
Where www.example.com/webmail/webadmin/ is the URL of the WebMail WebAdmin page.
4: Congratulations, the upgrade is now complete. You can now reload the WebMail interface and begin using the latest release!
