Updates
Learn how to upgrade ContentBox CMS with just a couple of steps.
ContentBox is upgraded using CommandBox via the CLI. If you are upgrading from minor to minor/patch level, most likely you won't need to follow an upgrade guide. However, if you are upgrading between major versions make sure you visit each of the major versions' upgrade guide first.
Make sure you backup your database and source, just in case. We recommend running this against a development instance first and then moving on to production instances.
When you are ready with your backups, open up a CommandBox shell using
box in the root of your project.Make sure your
.env and credentials are seeded# Run the update of the core dependencies
update --force
This will update ColdBox and ContentBox respectively and any other
dependencies listed in your box.jsonNow that the ContentBox source has been upgraded, let's run the database migrations
# Run the migrations
run-script contentbox:migrate:up
Once they run, you are ready to roll!
