Hi Dennis,
I do plan on adding an "upgrade" piece to the installers at some point,
as well as Apache on Windows. It's just a matter of how much time is in
a day. ;)
Like Al mentioned, to upgrade your OpenBD version, it's simply a matter
of copying your new OpenBD "lib" directory over the old "lib" directory.
You will want to remove the previous files first, as the version numbers
on those files may be different.
You can use this same "component replacement" method for each piece of
your server: The OpenBD Administrator, Tomcat, and the JRE to name a few.
Hope this helps!
Warm regards,
Jordan Michaels

If you drop the new war file into the tomcat webapps location, then
you'll "deploy" another running version of OpenBD, which sounds like
something you don't really need.
I think you just take the latest war and explode it in a safe place.
Then take the juicy nougats from within, (backup and) overwrite your
existing deployment lib, stop (wait...) and restart the J2EE/tomcat engine.

I was never really weaned from all that Windows point and click stuff
myself, so I install webmin on my Ubuntu Linux server.

I installed OpenBD 1.2 Using the Vivio tech installer package on
Win2008 /
IIS7 and everything went fine. For this project we needed only minimal
CFML
functionality, Zero Cost and needed it to work immediately so the OpenBD
installer was a perfect solution and got us up and running. Installers
for
these products would go a long way in expanding the user base, but
that it
another discussion for a later time.
We have since switched from II7 to Apache Windows for the mod_xSend
functionality and managed to make the switch over. This transistion
was not
without issues since the Vivo installer used different ports and it looks
like different install paths than the examples and info I could find
on line
about installing the software, in particular this entry in Matt's old
blog
(http://tinyurl.com/d53ef7) but I managed to figure it out and got both
Apache and IIS7 working, on separate ports, before I switched off II7 and
over to Apache.
I have become increasingly impressed with OpenBD and intend to do more
work
with it but now since being a much despised windows point and click
not much
with java guy I know that there will be a learning curve with these
applications since they are infinitely configurable which is a good
and bad
thing depending on your perspective. However right now I wish to
upgrade to
this particular install from V1.2 to V1.4 of Open BD and am not
exactly sure
how to accomplish this.
> From the scattered documentation I assume that it should be as easy as
downloading the latest WAR file and place it in the correct directory and
Tomcat will deploy it but then again not having the familiarity (there is
that learning curve) with all the applications I am not sure. Can anyone
who actually read this missive advise me on the correct course of
action to
upgrade this particular installation?
