After 2.2 to 3.4 upgrade, does civicrm.settings.php file need upgrade too?
June 02, 2011, 02:47:10 pm
I successfully upgraded a site from 2.2 to 3.4 today, and noticed that during that timeframe the civicrm.settings.php file has expanded quite a lot.  The site seems to work with the old civicrm.settings.php file, but would it benefit to update the file with the 3.4 version of civicrm.settings.php?

Yes you should update civicrm.settings.php. We have added fare amount of new settings in civicrm.settings.php

Kurund,

On my Ubuntu box, when I upgrade to a new release, I get asked whether to update or keep configuration files that might have changed. I wonder whether something similar is possible for CiviCRM?

Observing that during a fresh install, civicrm.settings.php is generated from templates/CRM/common/civicrm.settings.php.tpl, may I suggest that during an upgrade ...
  • Using templates/CRM/common/civicrm.settings.php.tpl and the same logic as during a fresh install ...
  • ... generate "x.x.x.civicrm.settings.php.default" where "x.x.x" would be "3.4.2" for a 3.4.2 upgrade, and ...
  • ... if this is different to civicrm.settings.php ...
  • ... alert the administrator that the default settings file has been generated, is different to the settings file, and it is recommended the administrator reviews the differences

Stoob and I have been lucky in detecting changes to templates/CRM/common/civicrm.settings.php.tpl  but most administrators would not see that.

Thanks!
Ken
