Thanks, I finally got it - just to clarify for any others out there: On Linux: 1-Download the latest WAR file 2-Explode the WAR file into a directory (maybe /opt/war) using unzip 2a-mkdir /opt/war 2b-cd /opt/war 2c-unzip /path/to/openbd.war 3-cd /opt/war 4-tar cvf /tmp/obdadmin.tar bluedragon demo manual 5-cd WEB-INF 6-tar cvf /tmp/obdmain.tar bin classes customtags lib webresources 7-/etc/init.d/openbd_ctl stop (this stops the Tomcat & openbd) 8-cd /opt/openbd 9-tar xvf /tmp/obdmain.tar 10-cd /opt/openbd/tomcat/webapps/ROOT 11-tar xvf /tmp/obdadmin.tar 12-/etc/init.d/openbd_ctl start 13-rm /tmp/obd*.tar (if you want to remove the tmp tar files we created)
I used these steps to sucessfully update an installation of OpenBlueDragon 1.3 (using Vivio Tech's openbd-1.3-pl0-linux- installer.bin) The easiest way to verify the update is to look at the version in the lower-right corner in the administrator, and for the main, simply CFDump the server scope (<cfdump var="#server#">) in an cfm template. My Linux install was CentOS5.5 32bit.
