> Setup uses a common set of functions for new installs and upgrades. These are implemented as multi-pass loops. For a single application install or upgrade, a single pass is done. For multiple application installs or upgrades, multiple passes are done automatically. The order of install in a mass install or upgrade is determined by application dependencies. The other determining factor is the order in which the application directories and setup.inc.php files are read from the filesystem.

><P
> Each run of index.php or applications.php in setup3 first runs a set of detection routines. These read the data from each setup.inc.php file, and from the 'applications' or 'phpgw_applications' table as appropriate, and only if one of these tables exists. This data is parsed into the $setup_info array. In this case, this array contains information about all applications. Based on the information gathered, a status flag is set to one of the following values:
</P
><P
></P
><UL
><LI
><P
> U - Upgrade required/available
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> R - upgrade in pRogress
</P
></LI

><P
> Using this information, the setup logic in index.php determines what mode we are in. index.php is not capable of being selective about which application it found as being out of sync. It is designed only for 'Simple Application Management', which is Step 1 of the setup process. For more selective application manipulation, use applications.php. index.php then tells the user that 1) their applications are current 2) some of their applications are out of sync 3) no db exists, etc. For a new install, all applications will be out of sync, since there is not even an 'phpgw_applications' table in the database to tell setup what the status is for any application.

> Only an API version mismatch will trigger an automated request for the user to upgrade their install. Once the api is current, they can move on to applications.php for more 'Advanced Application Management', which is Step 4 of the setup process. However, if the API is out of sync, clicking 'Upgrade' in index.php will also attempt to upgrade other applications which may be out of sync, as well. As the phpgwapi continues to stabilize, it is felt that this method of upgrading will become less and less common.

> Within applications.php, a color-coded matrix of application status and actions is displayed. Depending on the status flag of each application, certain actions will be either enabled or disabled. These actions include 'install', 'upgrade', 'remove'. If something is very wrong with previous attempts to install or upgrade an application, another column called 'resolution' will then display a link. This link will display additional information which would be helpful for determining how to resolve the problem. Assuming all is well, the user can select applications requiring upgrade from this list. Once selected, they submit the form. This runs the follow three routines in order:
</P
