Installation
------------
+### Important note for upgrades from TYPO3 CMS versions **below 6.2 LTS**
+
+It is not possible to upgrade any version below 6.2 LTS to 7 directly,
+since some upgrade wizards are not available anymore on 7.
+
+It is highly recommended to upgrade to 6.2 LTS first and continue with
+a second upgrade to 7.
+
### If SSH and symlinks are possible
If you have SSH access to your webserver and are able to create symlinks,
this is the recommended way of setting up TYPO3 so that it can easily
be upgraded later through the Install Tool:
-* Uncompress the `typo3_src-6.2.x.tar.gz` file one level above the Document
+* Uncompress the `typo3_src-7.0.x.tar.gz` file one level above the Document
Root of your Web server:
```
/var/www/site/htdocs/ $ cd ..
-/var/www/site/ $ tar xzf typo3_src-6.2.x.tar.gz
+/var/www/site/ $ tar xzf typo3_src-7.0.x.tar.gz
```
* Create the symlinks in your Document Root:
```
cd htdocs
- ln -s ../typo3_src-6.2.x typo3_src
+ ln -s ../typo3_src-7.0.x typo3_src
ln -s typo3_src/index.php index.php
ln -s typo3_src/typo3 typo3
```
You end up with the follow structure of files:
```
- typo3_src-6.2.x/
- htdocs/typo3_src -> ../typo3_src-6.2.x/
+ typo3_src-7.0.x/
+ htdocs/typo3_src -> ../typo3_src-7.0.x/
htdocs/typo3 -> typo3_src/typo3/
htdocs/index.php -> typo3_src/index.php
htdocs/.htaccess
On Windows Vista and Windows 7, you can create symbolic links using
the `mklink` tool:
```
- mklink /D C:\<dir>\example.com\typo3_src C:\<dir>\typo3_src-6.2.x
+ mklink /D C:\<dir>\example.com\typo3_src C:\<dir>\typo3_src-7.0.x
```
Users of Windows XP/2000 or newer can use the `junction` program by
Please note that this is not a recommended setup!
-* Uncompress `typo3_src-6.2.x.tar.gz` locally
+* Uncompress `typo3_src-7.0.x.tar.gz` locally
* Upload all files and subdirectories directly in your Document Root
(where files that are served by your webserver are located).
* In case your provider uses Apache:
ThreadStackSize 8388608
</IfModule>
```
- Restart Apache after this change.
