Version Number

[thoalex]

Hi,

I've just started working with OfBiz and I think the installation I'm working with is very old and I need to upgrade it.

a) How do I find out what version I have?
b) How do I upgrade?  I'm mostly worried about the database.

Thanks
Thomas

version 2 was in the early 2002
file structure was
base
components
data
hot-deploy
when ran created orb.db folder.


version 3.0 was around 2004
structure:
base
components
data
hot-deploy
when ran created orb.db folder.

It was the orginal incubator that moved to TLD was 3.2
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/ofbiz/trunk/?pathrev=490457

version 4
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/ofbiz/branches/release4.0/?pathrev=531728

9.04 is
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/ofbiz/branches/release09.04/?pathrev=765913

I suggest you save a back up of your db.
when you first run ofbiz the log will create list of discrepancies in
the db compared to the current version you are using.
the current version will add tables and columns but will not resize or
delete columns or tables.
