Installation and Upgrade

To install a new PhixFlow instance, follow the standard installation instructions.

To upgrade an existing PhixFlow instance:

  1. First review Compatibility Guide and Upgrade Planning to check any changing requirements for database versions etc.
  2. Follow the Standard Upgrade Instructions plus any special instructions for all intermediate releases listed in Compatibility Guide and Upgrade Planning.

Special notes

The MariaDB (MySQL) migration scripts now require additional privileges or equivalent database server configuration changes.

Specifically, one of the following must be true:

  • the migration user has SUPER privilege, or
  • the mysql global variable 'log_bin_trust_function_creators' is set to true

If neither are true, the migration script may fail and would require manual recovery.

This advice applies to the migration to 7.6.0 and to all later migrations.

We recommend that before upgrading, you

  1. review your installation for any remaining uses of the discontinued modelling features listed below; all data related to the use of these features will be removed by the migration process.
  2. backup all non- stream-data tables (i.e. all tables except those whose names begin with a 'Z')
