Update via Package Server (SK-Designz.de)

How to add a package server to your WoltLab Suite installation

The easiest method to update the desired product is the "package server" variant. In order for this to work reliably, you must first define the package server for your WoltLab Suite installation. To do this, log into your administration menu and switch to "Configuration" in the left sidebar and then to the menu item "Package server", via the "+" icon to the right of it you can add a package server.

The address as well as user data (username and password) are stored in your customer account. Again, make sure that you use the appropriate package server for your WoltLab Suite installation (version number). If you are unsure which package server is the correct one, you can check this identically to "Determine product version" (Further up in the text).

Once this is done, you need to tell the package server to search for available packages by going to "Administration" in the left sidebar of the administration menu and then to "Cronjobs". Run the cronjob "Updates package information" (triangle / play button). Finished.

Switch to "Configuration" in the left sidebar and then to the "Packages" menu item. At the top right select the button "Search for updates" and press it, if there is an update for your product it will be suggested automatically and you only have to confirm it. Now log in (if necessary) with your customer data (My account), then the update runs through automatically.

Note: If the update does not work or an error message appears, store the "authentication code" in your installation.

Update via Package Server (WoltLab.com)

If an update is available, you can select and confirm it here

Note: This step is necessary for customers of the "WoltLab Cloud" (Managed Hosting)!

Note: This step only addresses customers who have purchased their product on WoltLab via the WoltLab PluginStore.

The required package servers of WoltLab have already been set up with the installation of WoltLab Suite at your site. Switch to "Configuration" in the left sidebar and then to the "Packages" menu item. On the top right, select the button "Search for updates" and press it, if an update for your product is available, it will be suggested automatically and you only have to confirm it. Now log in (if necessary) with your customer data (username and password from Woltlab. com), then the update will run through automatically.
