The issue

There's a new release and you want to install it but you don't want to lose data.This assumes you have your current installation as “/var/www/html/kontrollbase” – substitute your own if different.

The method

1. download the latest release from the repo: http://code.google.com/p/kontrollbase/
2. unpack the tar.gz file into the web directory
3. check the announcement forum to see if you need to add anything to the config files we'll be copying below.
4. move the current installation directory to a .old extension
5. symlink the new kontrollbase directory to /var/www/html/kontrollbase so that future upgrades are only a matter of changing a symlink
6. copy the config files into the new installation directory's appropriate sub-directory
7. ensure webserver process ownership of the new directory and sub-directories
8. login to the app to make sure everything is good
