Problem Android "Unknown Server Status"#

This seems to be a device ID problem in the source code.

See ./seafile-server-latest/seahub/seahub/api2/serializers.py

Upgrade#

on 12.01.2017 from 4.05. to 6.0.7, see manual

1. cd /markus/seafile
2. stop old one
3. here you download the lastest server version
Note: you have here als folder ccnet and seafile-data
After gunzip and tar you have a new folder seafile-server-6.0.7
4. cd seafile-server-6.0.7
5. ls -l upgrade
Here you need to call all steps, e.g.
upgrade_4.0_4.1.sh
upgrade_4.1_4.2.sh
...
But NOT from inside folder, but one above, so
upgrade/upgrade_4.0_4.1.sh
upgrade/upgrade_4.1_4.2.sh
...
6. All upgrade set a new symlink to seafile-server-6.0.7
7. cd seafile-server-6.0.7
8. start like above, done

Migrate to new server#

1. Stop services
2. Download and install latest version (as of Mar 2017 it was 6.0.8), follow manual
   1. create mysql databases create database ccnet-db default character set 'UTF8'; create database seafile-db default character set 'UTF8'; create database seahub-db default character set 'UTF8';
   2. create mysql seafile user create user 'seafile'@'localhost' identified by 'seafile'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `ccnet-db`.* to `seafile`@localhost; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `seafile-db`.* to `seafile`@localhost; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `seahub-db`.* to `seafile`@localhost; SET PASSWORD FOR 'seafile'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('...your.password...');
3. clean and copy folders ccnet, conf, seafile-data
4. maybe: update SERVER_URL in /conf/ccnet.conf
5. old versions of seafile used folder "data" and not "seafile-data" as data storage, update folder in /ccnet/seafile.ini
6. export, copy, import database mysqldump -u root -p<password> ccnet-db > /home/proftpd/ccnet-db.sql mysqldump -u root -p<password> seafile-db > /home/proftpd/seafile-db.sql mysqldump -u root -p<password> seahub-db > /home/proftpd/seahub-db.sql mysql -u root -p<password> ccnet-db < /home/proftpd/ccnet-db.sql mysql -u root -p<password> seafile-db < /home/proftpd/seafile-db.sql mysql -u root -p<password> seahub-db < /home/proftpd/seahub-db.sql
7. Delete cache rm -rf /tmp/seahub_cache
8. Update mysql config in /conf/seahub_settings.py to 'init_command': 'SET default_storage_engine=INNODB',
9. Start services
