How to Upgrade Anope Services

Upgrading  Anope Services

Upgrading Anope Services
------------------------

1) Log into SSH.
2) Type wget https://www.hostchaos.com/library/IRC/anope-1.8.7.tar.gz
tar -zxvf anope-1.8.7.tar.gz
cd ~
cd anope-1.8.7
./Config
What directory - Enter
Data files - Enter
Data files owned - Enter
Default umask - 077
Check for mysql libraries - No
Once it has finished configuring, type "make"
Then "make install"


Now you have installed the latest version of Anope on your server, you now need to copy over the database files and services.conf file. Before copying over the services.conf file, read the changes.conf and add any changes to your services.conf file. If you are upgrading from a much older version (say 1.8.0 or before) it would probably be easier to create a fresh configuration file from the example.conf included in the new version you have just installed (edit example.conf as necessary, save, and rename to services.conf).

1) Log into your server with WinSCP
2) Copy over your backed up database files into the Services folder
3) Copy over your EDITED services.conf (if necessary)


Now you need to restart your services.
Restart from your IRC client by typing /msg OperServ restart
cd services
./services start
