This HowTo describes, how to update your current VIMP installation to the latest version (also applies for upgrades e.g. from VIMP Community to VIMP Professional), including all installed modules.
Always BACKUP your files and database before performing an update!
This article describes how to create a backup.
VIMP update packages have the following nomenclature:
vimp.framework-<version>-<edition>-updater.bin
VIMP module update packages have the following nomenclature:
vimp.module.<modulname>-<version>-updater.bin
In our example, we will update VIMP 2.5.13 including the module YouTube Import to VIMP 2.6.0.
In case your current VIMP version is >= 2.x, just follow the example exactly. There's nothing more you have to consider. The updater installs all changes of previous versions, even if you skip one or more version numbers.
First upload the udpate packages into the VIMP installation folder of your server, e.g. via SFTP or FTP.
Then log in to the shell as root (e.g. with putty) and change to the VIMP folder and grant execute permissions to the update packages:
cd /var/www chmod +x vimp.*-updater.bin
Clear the VIMP/symfony Cache:
./symfony cc
Next, execute the update script:
./vimp.framework-2.6.0-r20671-community-updater.bin
You'll be prompted to enter or confirm the installation path. Default value is the current folder and is written in square brackets [...].
Install path [/var/www]:
Just hit Return, if you want to confirm the pre-filled value.
The updater checks the system requirements:

[Y/n]:
As we're updating a running VIMP platform, no ERROR messages should be expected. Confirm with Return to continue.
Now, the new files will be extracted from the package. The updater compares the given database tables with the new ones and always asks you to confirm changes.
... >> update Table channel_user changed >> update Table config changed >> update Table menu changed >> update Table role_permission changed Changes for Database found. Apply? [Y/n]:
Enter Y or press Return to apply the database changes. In case you didn't create a database backup yet, this is the last chance to abort and save your current database.
... >> update Changing table category... >> update Check filesystem for changes >> update File /data/sql/updates.sql changed >> update File /data/sql/upgrade.sql changed Changes for filesystem found. Apply? [Y/n]:
Confirm once again and the update of the framework will be executed.
... >> file- /var/www/data/frontend_dev-cli.lck root@debian-6-64:/var/www/#
If you don't have any modules to update, you're done here.
In our example, we'll also update the YouTube Import module.
Proceed accordingly for all other installed modules.
Execute the update script of the module:
./vimp.module.youtubeimport-2.6.0-r20671-updater.bin
Again, you're asked to enter or confirm the installation path:
Install path [/var/www]:
Press Return to confirm.
... >> file- /var/www/data/frontend_dev-cli.lck root@debian-6-64:/var/www/#
In our example, we're done now. Update the rest of your modules, if installed, to finish your VIMP update.
