Upgrading OpenX

OpenX provides an upgrade wizard that guides you through the upgrade process and makes sure that your system is set up correctly.

You can upgrade to OpenX 2.8 from the following versions:

  • OpenX 2.6
  • OpenX 2.4 (or Openads 2.4)
  • Openads 2.3
  • Openads 2.0.11-pr1 (for MySQL or PostgreSQL)
  • MMM v0.1.29-rc
  • MMM v0.3.31-alpha-pr3

Before you upgrade, review the system requirements to ensure that your system is suitable.

After reviewing the system requirements:

  • Prepare the test environment
  • Prepare for the upgrade
  • Run the upgrade wizard
  • Upgrade time zones and character encoding if necessary
  • Secure the administrator interface
  • Schedule maintenance to run to complete the upgrade
