How to Update v4 to v5 on selfhosting

Self-Hosted | v5
21

There is only “invoiceninja.log” with:
production.INFO: migrations/…-2021-04-01-invoiceninja.zip
But there is no Input in v5 (no clients, no invoices, …).

php artisan ninja:check-data
2021-04-02 11:00:19 2021-04-02 11:00:19 Running CheckData...

and:

php artisan ninja:send-test-emails
In SendTestEmails.php line 148:

The steps I took:

  • Update current install to the latest version.
  • Take a backup and install it on another domain, eg invoicingv4.mydomain.com
  • Install V5 where the old install used to be and go through the normal setup process to get a fresh install.
  • Go to settings in the V4 install and use the migrate option to connect to the V5 install and migrate the content.
  • make sure everything is ok

After the import, you may have 2 companies in the list so if you see no data then you might be looking at the wrong company and need to disable/delete the one you set it up with.

If you don’t get an email about the migration completing then something went wrong and should be shown in the logs.

You can’t install v5 over the top of v4.
