Upgrade Logaholic 3.x to Logaholic 4.x

Access your web/local server with a FTP client.

Copy (extract) the contents of the logaholic zip file -containing the newer software version- to your ‘logaholic’ subdirectory. For example, if you have a website called “www.testsite.com” and your current Logaholic subdirectory is ‘logaholic’, extract the files to “www.testsite.com/logaholic/”.

The new files will overwrite the old files.

Set the file access permission for “everyone” to “write” (777) for the “Data”folder within the Logaholic directory, if it hasn’t been set already. In most FTP clients you can do this by right-clicking the directory name and selecting “File permissions”.

Go to Manage Profiles in your current Logaholic installation (3) and click on the Maintenance tab.

Choose “Export Profile Settings to json file” to export the settings that below to your selected profile.

Open the newly installed Logaholic version 4.x and navigate to Global Settings in the top menu.

Select Import profile settings from json file from the list.

Browse your computer for the file you downloaded in the previous step and click “Import”.
It’s also possible to enter the full path and file name in case you have the file saved on your server.

Return to your Logaholic 3 installation and open the Maintenance tab again of your preferred profile.

Choose “Backup / Export”.

Select the data range for which you want to export your profile data.

Select “Logaholic 4 LWA format” as a file format and click “Download”.

A series of log files will now be created in a new directory on your server. The screens shows the file locations. You will need to copy these files to the location described in the next step.

Open your FTP client and connect to your webserver.

Navigate to the directory that contains your new Logaholic installation.

Open the subdirectory “Data”.

Within the Data directory, open the folder that contains the name of imported profile.
Open the subdirectory “logs”.

Copy the log files from step 3 here.

The final step is importing the data using datamanager in Logaholic 4.x.
Again, open the Maintenance tab for the profile you wish.

Click “Datamanager Settings”.
Your log file overview on the right should contain the file you just copied to the log directory of your profile.

Check the box “Manually Export / Import Logfiles” and fill in the data range for which you want to import data.

Click “Import” and the export/import process is done!
