Update RoundCube to the latest version, system wide

I'm sorry if this is considered hijacking, but I was going to create a similar thread and found this. I want to update to the latest version as well, but had some questions as to how to do it. I can create my own thread if it's inappropriate for me to ask in this thread.

My understanding is I just download the latest version of Roundcube, rename it to something like roundcube-local.tar.gz and put it in the /var/cpanel/roundcube directory. Then I just need to call the appropriate script, something like /scripts/upcp or even /usr/local/cpanel/bin/update-roundcube. From what I've read, /scripts/upcp will eventually call /usr/local/cpanel/bin/update-roundcube and that script will look for the roundcube-local.tar.gz file and use that instead.

The part where I'm confused deals with the configuration files though. I've been looking at /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/roundcube/config/config.inc.php and see a bunch of stuff that seems to be cPanel specific. Connecting to databases on certain ports, etc. Would the upcp or update-roundcube update the new config file for the new version of Roundcube with the old config information or maybe it'll modify the config file to populate it with the correct values....or do I have to manually change the config file to match?

If I have to manually edit the config file, are there other config files that I'll have to play around with as well? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 

Thank you for the reply cPanelMichael. I've found that documentation already. That's how I knew about the roundcube-local.tar.gz file and the /scripts/upcp or the /usr/local/cpanel/bin/update-roundcube script files. That article doesn't answer my original question though, unfortunately.

I wanted to know if I use the latest version of roundcube, and I follow those directions that you linked me too, is it gonna wipe out the roundcube config.inc.php that seems to have cPanel specific stuff in it? Thanks

 

Great, thank you very much for your help!!! Much appreciated!!!
