NOTE: Database changes are required for this upgrade. During the upgrade process you will be prompted for your root mysql password. If you don’t remember this password you may have set it as the same as the bluecherry password during installation. You can run ‘sudo cat /etc/bluecherry.conf’ to see what the bluecherry database password is. It is highly recommend that you test the connection to mysql by running this command:
mysql -u bluecherry bluecherry –execute=”select value from GlobalSettings where parameter=’G_LAST_CURRENT_VERSION’;” -p
You will be prompted for your root mysql password. If you successfully enter it you should see something that looks like this:
+———–+
| value |
+———–+
| 1:2.0.2-1 |
+———–+
Once you have the root mysql password, follow the instructions below to upgrade.
This release focuses on problems where events weren’t deleted properly causing the filesystem to become full. This release also works on improving IP camera connectivity problems that have been causing problems for the past few releases.
