Server Migration (Apache -> Nginx) and 3.8.3 Upgrade

I'm migrating from an Apache environment to a Nginx + PHP7 environment with change in default root directory.

Is there any place I need to manually update the absolute document path of where images are stored?

I'm planning to use the following steps for backup and upgrade (from 3.6.9 to 3.8.3).

Please verify if this workflow is good.

1. mysqldump the Chevereto database

2. tar.gz the entire document folder from the old server

3. import in Chevereto database to the new server

4. restore/extract the tar.gz archive to the new server's root document path

5. perform upgrade by using the update button in the dashboard

Is there anything missing in the above workflow?

Or any precaution / rewrite rules, I should pay attention to when moving from Apache to Nginx?

Is there any change in database/table structure between 3.6.9 and 3.8.3?
 
Hi,

You don't need to update the document root, Chevereto detects that auto.

There are some db updates between those versions but nothing to worry about.

Your workflow is good, there's shouldn't be any trouble.

Migration and upgrade went smoothly.

Need to take care of some server side related issue such as ownership of session.save_path in php-fpm configuration as the default PHP7 setting doesn't work for my configuration.
