Easy Updater on the Downloads page
To install updates you need to know where the data was installed to This is usually 1 of 3 places

  • /var/www (Manual install)
  • /home/www-data/php-scanner (easy installer)
  • /home/www-data/PHP-Scanner-Server (git easy installer)

The debug console will tell you where it is for sure You will need to be root to install updates on a typical installation
I will refer to your installed location as ./
If you run cd ./ ./ will actually become install location
You can delete everything in ./ except scans and config

  • It may be necessary to rescan for scanners on the config page after installing updates, depending on the upgrade

To delete the stuff in ./ 1st run ls -1A ./ to get a list of what what files are present For every line you see except scans and config run rm -rf ./$listItem where $listItem is the line in the output of the previous command
To be sure you removed all the old files run ls -1A ./ you should only see scans and config Now you just need to copy the new files into ./, the new files are in a compressed archive on the Downloads page.
