r3246 r3292 44 44 The first time installation is expected to be performed only once, 45 45 and optionally followed by a migration. The migration can only be 46 done ona pristine (empty) BASE 2 server, and migration from46 done to a pristine (empty) BASE 2 server, and migration from 47 47 several BASE 1 installations to one BASE 2 server is not 48 48 supported. … … 50 50 51 51 <note> 52 <para> 53 These instructions apply only to the version of BASE 2 that this 54 document is shipped with. 55 </para> 52 These instructions apply only to the BASE release which this 53 document is a part of. 56 54 </note> 57 55 58 <sect1 >56 <sect1 id="installation_upgrade.upgrade"> 59 57 <title>Upgrade instructions</title> 60 <para></para> 61 </sect1> 62 63 <sect1> 58 59 <important> 60 Note to PostgreSQL users: Upgrading BASE to versions earlier 61 than v2.2 is not be safe with an PostgreSQL database engine 62 due to a bug in Hibernate. The problem is reported to 63 Hibernate developers. There now exists a workaround for this 64 problem. Read more about the workaround on 65 the <ulink 66 url="http://base.thep.lu.se/wiki/UpgradePostgres">Upgrading a 67 Postgres database prior to BASE 2.2</ulink> page. This fix is 68 not needed for the release which this document is a part of. 69 </important> 70 71 <para> 72 As always, backup your database before attempting an 73 upgrade. The BASE team performs extensive testing before 74 releasing a new version of BASE but there are always a 75 possibility for unexpected events during upgrades. In upgrades 76 requiring a change in the underlying database there is no 77 (supported) way to revert to a previous version of BASE using 78 BASE tools, you need to use your backup for this use case. 79 </para> 80 81 <para> 82 The strategy here is to install the new BASE release to 83 another directory than the one in use. This requires transfer 84 of configuration settings to the new install but more on that 85 below. 86 </para> 87 88 <variablelist> 89 <varlistentry> 90 <term>Shut down the tomcat server</term> 91 <listitem> 92 <para> 93 If the BASE application is not shut down already, it is 94 time to do it now. Do something like <command>sudo 95 /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 stop</command> 96 </para> 97 </listitem> 98 </varlistentry> 99 100 <varlistentry> 101 <term>Rename your current server</term> 102 <listitem> 103 <para> 104 Rename your current BASE 2 installation <command>mv 105 /path/to/base /path/to/base_old</command>. 106 </para> 107 </listitem> 108 </varlistentry> 109 110 <varlistentry> 111 <term>Download and unpack BASE</term> 112 <listitem> 113 <para> 114 There are severeal ways to download BASE. Please refer 115 to section 116 <xref linkend="resources.home_page.download"/> for 117 information on downloading BASE, and select the item 118 matching your download option: 119 </para> 120 121 <variablelist> 122 <varlistentry> 123 <term><emphasis>Pre-compiled package</emphasis></term> 124 <listitem> 125 <para> 126 If you selected to download a pre-compiled 127 package, unpack the downloaded file 128 with <command>tar zxpf base-...tar.gz</command>. 129 </para> 130 </listitem> 131 </varlistentry> 132 133 <varlistentry> 134 <term><emphasis>Source package</emphasis></term> 135 <listitem> 136 <para> 137 If you selected to download a source package, 138 unpack the downloaded file with <command>tar zxpf 139 base-...src.tar.gz</command>. Change to the new 140 direcotry, and issue <command>ant 141 package.bin</command>. This will create a binary 142 package in the current directory. Unpack this new 143 package (outside of the source file hierarchy). 144 </para> 145 </listitem> 146 </varlistentry> 147 148 <varlistentry> 149 <term><emphasis>Subversion checkout</emphasis></term> 150 <listitem> 151 <para> 152 This option is for advanced users only and is not 153 covered here. Please refer 154 to <ulink 155 url="http://base.thep.lu.se/chrome/site/doc/development/build.html">the 156 builing BASE document</ulink> for information on 157 this download option. 158 </para> 159 </listitem> 160 </varlistentry> 161 162 </variablelist> 163 </listitem> 164 165 </varlistentry> 166 167 <varlistentry> 168 <term>Transfer files and settings</term> 169 <listitem> 170 <para> 171 Settings from the previous installation must be 172 transferred to the new installation. This is most easily 173 done by comparing the configuration files from the 174 previous install with the new files. Do not just copy 175 the old files to the new install since new options may 176 have appeared. 177 </para> 178 <para> 179 In the main BASE configuration file, 180 <filename>/path/to/base/www/WEB-INF/classes/base.config</filename>, 181 fields that needs to be transferred are usually 182 <emphasis>db.username</emphasis>, 183 <emphasis>db.password</emphasis>, 184 and <emphasis>userfiles</emphasis>. 185 </para> 186 <para> 187 Local settings in the raw data 188 tables, <filename>/path/to/base/www/WEB-INF/classes/raw-data-types.xml</filename>, 189 may need to be transferred. 190 </para> 191 </listitem> 192 </varlistentry> 193 194 <varlistentry> 195 <term>Updating database schema</term> 196 <listitem> 197 <para> 198 It is recommended that you also perform an update of 199 your database schema. Running the update scripts are 200 not always necessary when upgrading BASE, but the 201 running the update scripts are safe even in cases when 202 there is no need to run them. Change directory 203 to <filename 204 class="direcotry">/path/to/base/bin/</filename> and 205 issue 206 <command> 207 <literallayout>sh ./updatedb.sh <emphasis>base_root_password</emphasis> 208 sh ./updateindexes.sh <emphasis>base_root_password</emphasis></literallayout> 209 </command> 210 where <emphasis>base_root_password</emphasis> is the 211 password for the root user account within the BASE 212 application. 213 </para> 214 </listitem> 215 </varlistentry> 216 217 <varlistentry> 218 <term>Remove tomcat cache</term> 219 <listitem> 220 <para> 221 As tomcat user, remove cached files and directories.
