First, you need to make a backup of your existing configuration files.
LAM stores all configuration files in the "config" folder. Please backup the following files and copy them after the new version is installed.
| config/*.conf |
| config/config.cfg |
| config/pdf/*.xml |
| config/profiles/* |
LAM Pro only:
| config/selfService/*.* |
Second, uninstall your current LAM (Pro) installation.
Third, install the new LAM (Pro) release. Skip the part about setting up LAM configuration files.
Finally, restore your configuration files from the backup. Copy all files from the backup folder to the config folder in your LAM Pro installation. Do not simply replace the folder because the new LAM (Pro) release might include additional files in this folder. Overwrite any existing files with your backup files.
Now open your webbrowser and point it to the LAM login page. All your settings should be migrated.
Please check also the version specific instructions. They might include additional actions.
Asterisk extensions: The extension entries are now grouped by extension name and account context. LAM will automatically assign priorities and set same owners for all entries.
Debian users: LAM 3.6 requires to install FPDF 1.7. You can download the package here. If you use Debian Stable (Squeeze) please use the package from Testing (Wheezy).
LAM Pro: The global config/passwordMailTemplate.txt is no longer supported. You can setup the mail settings now for each LAM server profile which provides more flexibility.
Suse/Fedora RPM installations: LAM is now installed to /usr/share/ldap-account-manager and /var/lib/ldap-account-manager.
Please note that configuration files are not migrated automatically. Please move the files from /srv/www/htdocs/lam/config (Suse) or /var/www/html/lam/config (Fedora) to /var/lib/ldap-account-manager/config.
If you use custom images for the PDF export then these images need to be 5 times bigger than before (e.g. 250x250px instead of 50x50px). This allows to use images with higher resolution.
LAM supported to set a list of valid workstations on the "Personal" page. This required to change the LDAP schema. Since 3.1.0 this is replaced by the new "Hosts" module for users.
Lamdaemon: The sudo entry needs to be changed to ".../lamdaemon.pl *".
LAM Pro: There is now a separate account type for group of (unique) names. Please edit your server profiles to activate the new account type.
