# Upgrade SOGo from v3 to v4

Attention

Check out the lightweight on-premises email archiving software developed by iRedMail team: Spider Email Archiver.

SOGo v4 was released on Mar 7, 2018 by the SOGo team (https://sogo.nu), it will become the main branch with most active development. If you're satisfied with SOGo v3, you're free to stick to it.

## Upgrade SOGo On RHEL/CentOS

- Backup config files first:

    mkdir -p /root/sogo-backup/{sogo,sysconfig}
    cp /etc/sogo/* /root/sogo-backup/sogo/
    cp /etc/sysconfig/sogo /root/sogo-backup/sysconfig/

- Backup its SQL database:

    bash /var/vmail/backup/backup_sogo.sh

- Open file `/etc/yum.repos.d/sogo.repo`, change the version number in `baseurl=` line from `3` to `4`:

    baseurl=https://packages.inverse.ca/SOGo/nightly/4/rhel/$releasever/$basearch/

- SOGo relies on the GNUstep packages provided by SOGo team, and must not use the packages from EPEL repo. Please open file `/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo`, make sure you have line like below:

    exclude=gnustep*

- Upgrade SOGo packages:

    yum clean all
    yum update 'sogo*' 'sope*'

- Run the script shipped in SOGo-4.x to update SQL structure:

  - For LDAP and MySQL/MariaDB backends:

  `bash /usr/share/doc/sogo-4.*/sql-update-3.2.10_to_4.0.0-mysql.sh`

  - For PostgreSQL backend:

  `bash /usr/share/doc/sogo-4.*/sql-update-3.2.10_to_4.0.0.sh`

- Restart SOGo and memcached services:

    service memcached restart
    service sogod restart

## Upgrade SOGo On Debian/Ubuntu

- Backup config files first:

    mkdir -p /root/sogo-backup/{sogo,default}
    cp /etc/sogo/* /root/sogo-backup/sogo/
    cp /etc/default/sogo /root/sogo-backup/default/

- Backup its SQL database:

    bash /var/vmail/backup/backup_sogo.sh

- Open file `/etc/apt/sources.list` or `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/sogo-nightly.list`, change the version number `3` to `4`, like below:

    # Debian
    https://packages.inverse.ca/SOGo/nightly/4/debian ...

    # Ubuntu
    https://packages.inverse.ca/SOGo/nightly/4/ubuntu ...

- Upgrade SOGo packages:

    apt-get update
    apt-get install --only-upgrade sogo sogo-activesync

- Run the script shipped in SOGo-4.x to update SQL structure:

  - For LDAP and MySQL/MariaDB backends:

  `bash /usr/share/doc/sogo/sql-update-3.2.10_to_4.0.0-mysql.sh`

  - For PostgreSQL backend:

  `bash /usr/share/doc/sogo/sql-update-3.2.10_to_4.0.0.sh`

- Restart SOGo and memcached services:

    service memcached restart
    service sogo restart

## Upgrade SOGo On FreeBSD

FreeBSD ports tree still ships SOGo-3, so no SQL structure change after you update ports `www/sogo3` and `www/sogo3-activesync`.

## Upgrade SOGo On OpenBSD

OpenBSD 6.3 still ships SOGo-3, so no SQL structure change after you update sogo/sope packages with `pkg_add` command.

## Troubleshooting

If SOGo doesn't work as expected, please check its log file `/var/log/sogo/sogo.log`. If you don't understand what the error message means, please extract related error message and post to our online support forum: https://forum.iredmail.org/.
