DOLIBARR ERP/CRM

INSTALL

If you have no technical knowledge, use Windows and you are looking for an autoinstaller to install Dolibarr ERP/CRM in few clicks, you must download DoliWamp (the all-in-one package of Dolibarr for Windows).

You can download it at: [Official Website] (http://www.dolibarr.org/downloads/cat_view/62-stable-versions)

If you already have installed a Web server and a Mysql database, you can install this version like this:

Copy directory "dolibarr" and all its files inside your web server root, or copy directory anywhere and set up your web server to use "dolibarr/htdocs" as root for a new web server virtual host (second choice need to be server administrator).
Create an empty file "htdocs/conf/conf.php" and set permissions for your web server user (write permissions will be removed once install is finished).
From your browser, call the dolibarr "install/" page.

Url depends on choice made on first step:

http://localhost/dolibarr/htdocs/install/

http://yourdolibarrvirtualhost/install/

Follow instructions provided by installer...

UPGRADE

To upgrade Dolibarr from an old version to this one:

Overwrite all old files inside old 'dolibarr' directory by files provided into new version package.
If you came from version x.y.z to x.y.w (only third number differ), there is no need to run any migrate process.
If you came from a beta version or from any version x.y.z to any other where x or y number differs, you must call the Dolibarr "install/" page in your browser (this should be done automatically at first dolibarr access).

This URL should looks like:

http://localhost/dolibarr/htdocs/install/

http://yourdolibarrhost/install/index.php

Then choose the "update" option according to your case. Note: Migrate process can be ran safely several times.
