Migrate or upgrade iRedAdmin

[TOC]

This tutorial describes how to update or migrate iRedAdmin (either open source edition or old iRedAdmin-Pro release) to the latest iRedAdmin release (again, either open source edition or iRedAdmin-Pro).

Requirements

You MUST have iRedAdmin open source edition or old iRedAdmin-Pro release installed and running on your server before upgrading.

Download the latest iRedAdmin

  • iRedAdmin (open source edition) is available for download here.

  • How to download the latest iRedAdmin-Pro

    All customers can get download link of new release by following below steps:

    • Login to iRedAdmin-Pro as global admin.
    • Click License button on the top-right corner. it will show you basic license info and a Download button if new version is available.
    • Click Download button, your mailbox (license owner) will receive an email with download link in a short time. Note: if your mail server has greylisting enabled, it may take longer, please be patient and don't request download link again and again.

    if you cannot download iRedAdmin-Pro for some reason, contact us directly.

Upgrade Steps

  • Upload or copy the latest iRedAdmin to your server which has iRedAdmin open source edition or old iRedAdmin-Pro release running. We assume you uploaded it to /root/iRedAdmin-{BACKEND}-x.y.z.tar.bz2 ({BACKEND} is one of LDAP, MySQL, PGSQL). We will use iRedAdmin-x.y.z below for example, please replace x.y.z by the real file name. For example, iRedAdmin-Pro-LDAP-2.1.2.tar.bz2.

  • Uncompress and upgrade iRedAdmin:

# cd /root/
# tar xjf iRedAdmin-x.y.z.tar.bz2
# cd iRedAdmin-x.y.z/tools/
# bash upgrade_iredadmin.sh
  • If you're running iRedMail-0.8.7 or earlier version, please login to SQL server as root user (for MySQL/MariaDB, it's root user, for PostgreSQL, it's postgres user) to alter SQL table iredadmin.log with below SQL command:

    • For OpenLDAP/MySQL/MariaDB backends:
      sql> USE iredadmin;
      sql> ALTER TABLE log MODIFY COLUMN ip VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL DEFAULT '';
      sql> ALTER TABLE log MODIFY COLUMN event VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT '';
    • For PostgreSQL:
      sql> \c iredadmin;
      sql> ALTER TABLE log ALTER COLUMN ip TYPE VARCHAR(40);
      sql> ALTER TABLE log ALTER COLUMN event TYPE VARCHAR(20);

That's all. If it doesn't work for you, please post a new topic in our online support forum.

Additional steps

  • To quarantine SPAM/Virus into SQL database and manage them with iRedAdmin-Pro, please follow this tutorial to update Amavisd settings: Quarantining SPAM and Virus emails into SQL database

  • To manage white/blacklist with iRedAdmin-Pro, please enable per-recipient policy lookup in Amavisd, and enable plugin amavisd_wblist in iRedAPD config file (/opt/iredapd/settings.py, parameter plugins =): Amavisd: Enable per-recipient policy lookup

    Note: Cluebringer still provides white/blacklists, but iRedAdmin-Pro doesn't manage them anymore after iRedMail-0.9.0 release. So please migreate Cluebringer white/blacklists to Amavisd database by following this forum post.
