Hello, I know I need to write some upgrade documentation at some point, so I appreciate your comment. Basically, the way to perform an upgrade is to explode the WAR first, then copy various files from the exploded directories to your current install. For example, the lib directory should be copied to the /opt/openbd/lib/ directory. (this will update BD itself) The BD Administrator should also be part of the exploded files, and again, you just copy the new "bluedragon" folder that's in the ROOT webapp with the "bluedragon" folder that's in the WEB-INF directory and contains the administrator files.
You can sort-of see the process in the Single Instance Install docs I wrote a while back: http://wiki.openbluedragon.org/wiki/index.php/Single_Instance_Install - under the "Installing OpenBD" header. For your current ROOT webapp, yeah... you probably don't want to put the OpenBD war in there. ;) But you can re-install the openbd administrator by copying it into the ROOT just like you would for an upgrade. That is, of course, assuming your previous WEB-INF directory survived the experience. I'm not sure - never done that! Hope this helps. =) -Jordan On Sep 20, 3:29 pm, Rand <[email protected]> wrote: > I tried a quick search through this group, maybe I used the wrong > search terms, but I used the Vivio Tech installer, and have a valid > 1.3 install. > > I actually successfully upgraded the base OpenBlueDragon.jar, and got > 1.4 in the debug output (yay, a WIN for me). > I just copied the OpenBlueDragon.jar into /opt/openbd/lib, and > restarted, and all was good. > > My question is: is there a need to try to upgrade the OpenBD > administrator, and if so, are there instructions on how to do that?
