Autoupdate

The Autoupdate feature allows you to update your Gentics CMS installation in just a few minutes. The update process is fully integrated into the backend ui.

1 Manual Update

In some cases your server may not be able to access the internet. In this case you can configure the manual update in your node.conf.


$UPDATE_FROM_LOCAL = "/Node/tmp/localupdate";

Gentics CMS will search for updates within the given path once the UPDATE_FROM_LOCAL setting is configured.

You can use a shell script that fetches new updates and places them within the localupdate directory. The download can easily be achived by using a proxyserver with wget or curl.
