Upgrading

There is support to upgrade an existing DOMjudge installation to a newer version.

Warning

Before you begin, it is always advised to backup the DOMjudge database. We also advise to check the ChangeLog file for important changes.

Upgrading the filesystem installation is probably best done by installing the new version of DOMjudge in a separate place and transferring the configuration settings from the old version.

After upgrading the files, you can run dj_setup_database upgrade to migrate the database.

If you have any active contests, we recommend to run “Refresh scoreboard cache” from the DOMjudge web interface after the upgrade.

Upgrading from pre-7.0 versions

The upgrade procedure described above works from DOMjudge 7.0 and above. This means that if you run an older DOMjudge version, you first need to complete an upgrade to 7.0 before upgrading to a newer version. See https://github.com/DOMjudge/domjudge/tree/7.0/sql/upgrade for instructions for upgrading to 7.0. When you have successfully upgraded to 7.0, you can run the procedure above to reach the current version.
