Upgrade Magento via SSH

Upgrade Magento via SSH

Once you've accessed your site via SSH, change to the directory where Magento is installed and run the following commands to upgrade Magento (you should make a backup of your files and database before proceeding):

chmod +x mage 

./mage mage-setup . 

./mage config-set preferred_state stable 

./mage sync 

./mage install http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community Mage_All_Latest --force 

php shell/indexer.php reindexall 

rm -rf downloader/.cache/ var/cache/ 

  

For Magento 1.4.x and earlier, please use the following commands:

chmod +x pear 

./pear upgrade-all 

rm -rf downloader/pearlib/cache/* downloader/pearlib/download/* var/cache/ 

  

If you receive an error, that means the PEAR registry has not been initialized. You need to run the following commands:

chmod 550 pear 

./pear mage-setup . 

./pear install magento-core/Mage_All_Latest 

rm -rf downloader/pearlib/cache/* downloader/pearlib/download/* var/cache/
