💡 If you previously installed Passwork without using the git utility (downloaded the archive and unpacked it).
Rename the folder with Passwork, and create a new empty folder with the same name.
Make sure you have git installed. Go to the created empty folder and clone the repository:
- Go to the Installation section
- Select the ZIP archive method for downloading the sources
- Select the latest available version
Copy the files from the folder <passwork>/app/keys/ from the old version to the new one.Thus, in the folder <passwork>/app/keys/ there will be files with licenses (.lic) and one file reginfo.php (or reginfo.json)
Copy the file <passwork>/app/config/config.ini from the old version to the new one. Compare the <passwrok>/app/config/config.ini with the template config <passwork>/app/config/config.example.ini. Perhaps the new version has additional settings.
IIS can reset Rewrite rules (if you delete and load the .htaccess file). Check your rewrite rules. If they are empty then repeat importing the rule like it's described in this manual.
In case of problems: return the previous version folder which you renamed before starting the update. Use those files in order to roll back and contact our technical support.
