Overview

The LimeSurvey application is just a PHP/MySQL application served by Apache mod_php.

Filesystem

The whole application is in read-only (writable only by root) apart from some temporary locations and the upload directory.

The while application is world-readable apart from the file config-secret.php and the directory for PHP sessions.

Before any update: 

LIME=/var/www/limesurvey/production/
chown www-data: -R "$LIME"

After any update, harden the application: 

LIME=/var/www/limesurvey/production/

# make the whole application read-only for everyone
chown root: -R "$LIME"

# allow to upload new logo from the backend interface
chown www-data: "$LIME"/upload/themes/survey/generalfiles

# generic temporary directory for PHP
chown -R www-data: "$LIME"/tmp
chmod -R o=        "$LIME"/tmp

# user uploads
chown -R www-data: "$LIME"/upload

# user configuration (required by installation wizard)
chown -R www-data: "$LIME"/application/config

Here an overview of the application directory.

https://survey.wikimedia.it/index.php/admin/update

If the key is not valid anymore, copy and paste this page to request another one and have more than 120 updates:

After the update see #Logo.

Manual update

  1. backup files
  2. backup database
  3. see #Filesystem to remove hardening
  4. now:
    1. Option 1 without command line
      1. You can use the ComfortUpdate from the web interface (but you need to pay the license - that is good to support LimeSurvey)
    2. Option 2 with command line
      1. see #Deploy
      2. update the database:
        su www-data -s /bin/bash --command='php /var/www/limesurvey/production/application/commands/console.php updatedb'
  5. see #Filesystem to restore hardening

Notes:

  • to see the new version online you can just replace the symbolic link at /var/www/limesurvey/production.
  • remember to copy the /application/config inside your new version (both config.php and secret.php)

Then follow the official guide.

https://manual.limesurvey.org/upgrading_from_a_previous_version

After the update see #Logo.
