Upgrade Steps

To upgrade your MineStoreCMS from version 3.4.5 to 3.5.0, follow these steps:

1. Run Automatic Updater from the Admin Panel.
2. Install the new dependencies by running the following commands in the terminal:

bash <(curl -s https://minestorecms.com/res/updater_v350.sh)

3. Update the Theme to the latest version: Themes > Upgrade (KEEP IN MIND: IT WILL OVERWRITE YOUR CUSTOM CHANGES IN THE THEME!!!). If you have made custom changes to the theme, you will need to reapply them after the update.
4. Update the Minecraft Plugin to the latest version on each server.
5. Done! Your MineStoreCMS is now upgraded to version 3.5.0.
6. Go to Themes tab and upgrade your theme to the latest version. If you have made custom changes to the theme, you will need to reapply them after the update since your previous theme will be overwritten with the new one.

​

Upgrade Script Guide

The upgrade script is designed to automate the upgrade process and ensure that all necessary changes are applied to your MineStoreCMS installation.

After running the upgrade script by executing the command (run by using root user or sudo):

bash <(curl -s https://minestorecms.com/res/updater_v350.sh)

1. Enter your site path (e.g., /var/www/minestore) where your MineStoreCMS is installed. If you didn’t change the default path, you can leave it empty and press Enter.
2. The script will check for the MineStoreCMS installation and prompt you to confirm the upgrade. Type Y and press Enter to proceed with the upgrade.
3. It will ask you for composer dependency installation. Press Enter to install the required dependencies.
4. The script will then proceed to update the database schema, clear the cache, and perform any other necessary updates.
5. Follow other installation instructions and read the results.
6. Once the upgrade is complete, you will see a success message indicating that your MineStoreCMS has been successfully upgraded to version 3.5.0.

Updating Nginx Configuration

Automatic updater will also update your Nginx configuration to ensure that it is compatible with the new version of MineStoreCMS. But if during the upgrade you face any issues with the Nginx configuration, you can manually update it by following these steps:

1. Open your Nginx configuration file for your webstore (usually located at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/minestore.conf).
2. Add the following lines to the location / block, so it might look like this:

location / {
    if ($limit = 0) {
        set $limit_req_zone "";
    }
    proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;

	proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}

3. Same for location /_next/static/ and location /static blocks, so it might look like this:

location /_next/static {
    #proxy_cache STATIC;
    proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}

location /static {
    #proxy_cache STATIC;
    proxy_ignore_headers Cache-Control;
    proxy_cache_valid 60m;
    proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
	proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
