Updating to BILLmanager 6 from versions below 5.368.0

The current version of BILLmanager 6 has received a large number of updates and fixes. Updating BILLmanager versions lower than 5.368.0 to the current version must be performed step by step in manual mode. Otherwise, the update may fail or end with an error. To update BILLmanager to version 6, you must first update the platform to the current version of BILLmanager 5 - 5.368.0 or higher.

To update BILLmanager to the current version:

1. Connect to the server with BILLmanager via SSH.

2. Edit the file repo.version. Specify the platform version according to the formula: version of your BILLmanager platform + 20.

   vi /usr/local/mgr5/etc/repo.version

   Example

   For example, you have BILLmanager version 5.305 installed. Specify version 5.325 in the file.

   cat /usr/local/mgr5/etc/repo.version
   5.325

3.  Depending on your operating system, edit the files. Specify the version of BILLmanager, as in repo.version.

   Ubuntu 20.04:

   /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ispsystem.list

   Example

   Replace beta or version number with the BILLmanager version number from repo.version.

   For example, BILLmanager version 5.305 is installed. The file displays the version to which the platform can be updated. Replace version 5.377 with 5.325.

   cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ispsystem.list
   deb http://download.ispsystem.com/repo/ubuntu 5.377-focal main

   cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ispsystem.list
   deb http://download.ispsystem.com/repo/ubuntu 5.325-focal main

   CentOS 7, AlmaLinux 9:

   /etc/yum.repos.d/ispsystem.repo

   Example

   Replace beta or version number with the BILLmanager version number from repo.version.

   For example, if BILLmanager version 5.305 is installed, then in the file you should specify version 5.325 instead of beta.

   cat /etc/yum.repos.d/ispsystem.repo
   [ispsystem-beta]
   name=ispsystem-beta
   #failovermethod=priority
   gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-ISPsystem

   mirrorlist=http://download.ispsystem.com/repo/centos/beta/mirrorlist.txt
   gpgcheck=1

   cat /etc/yum.repos.d/ispsystem.repo
   [ispsystem-beta]
   name=ispsystem-beta
   #failovermethod=priority
   gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-ISPsystem
   enabled=1
   #baseurl=http://download.ispsystem.com/repo/centos/beta/$releasever/$basearch
   mirrorlist=http://download.ispsystem.com/repo/centos/6.325/mirrorlist.txt
   gpgcheck=1

4. Run the update with the command:

   /usr/local/mgr5/sbin/pkgupgrade.sh coremanager

   
   

5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until the BILLmanager version reaches 5.368.0.
6. Run the BILLmanager update following the instructions.

Repositories

When you change the repository from stable to beta the control panel packages are updated to the version available in the beta repository. Switching from beta to stable will update the packages provided that the version in the stable repository is higher than the installed version. If the installed version is higher than the available one you cannot install modules in Integration → Modules. 

To avoid issues with the installation of modules:

1. Navigate to Settings → System configuration → Update software automatically and select "do not update".  The current repository in the format  <version>-<repository>, e.g. "6.42-beta" will be added to /usr/local/mgr5/etc/repo.version.
2. When the installed version of the control panel is available in the stable repository, change the repository from beta to stable:

echo 'stable' > /usr/local/mgr5/etc/repo.version
/usr/local/mgr5/sbin/licctl fetch billmgr --update license
