This procedure upgrades an existing, source only or stack installed, KnowledgeTree Community edition to a newer version of KnowledgeTree Community edition, using the KnowledgeTree Community edition Upgrade Installer for Windows/Linux.
Perform the following steps:
| 1. | Back up your current installation. |
| 2. | Are you upgrading from ... |
| • | KnowledgeTree Community edition Source Only package? Manually upgrade to the latest version of KnowledgeTree Community edition (source only). Download the latest source only package for Windows / Linux at the KnowledgeTree website. Follow the upgrade instructions on the KnowledgeTree Wiki: http://wiki.knowledgetree.com/Upgrading_KnowledgeTree |
Note: KnowledgeTree Source Only Packages contain the KnowledgeTree application
and installation instructions. You will need to be familiar with installing and configuring
all required components.
| • | KnowledgeTree Community e, stack installed? Go to step 3. |
| 3. | Download the latest version of the KnowledgeTree Community edition Upgrade Installer for Windows/Linux at the KnowledgeTree website. |
Note: Download from http://www.knowledgetree.com/node/38
| 4. | If you are upgrading on Linux, make the Upgrade Installer package executable before launching the file. To do this, use the following command: |
$ chmod +x ktdms-[current version]-linux-installer.bin
$ ./ktdms-[current version]-linux-installer.bin
Note: You can also use either of the following alternative steps for making the package
executable on Linux:
| ▪ | Right click on the Installer / Upgrade Installer package; then, select Properties. Set permissions to Read / Write, select Executable, close Properties dialog. The exact steps varies between Linux distributions; or, |
| ▪ | Remove the .bin extension from the file name. (Some Linux distributions will not run bin files) |
| 5. | Click on the file to launch the KnowledgeTree Document Management System Upgrade Setup Wizard; then, click Next. |
| 5.1. | On the Installation directory page, accept the default install location, or click Browse to specify a different location; then, click Next. |
| 5.2. | On the WebServer Port page, accept the default Apache Web Server Port; then, click Next. |
Notes: From KnowledgeTree version 3.5, the default port for the Apache installation
depends on the security level of the user performing the upgrade:
| • | When users with administrator or root privileges perform the upgrade, the |
upgrade installer selects port 80 as the default port.
| • | When users without administrator or root privileges perform the upgrade, the |
upgrade installer selects port 8080 as the default port.
| • | When upgrading to KnowledgeTree 3.5, ensure that the correct port is selected, |
because the installer is unable to determine the port selected in a previous
installation, and if port 8080 is selected when port 80 should be used, the
upgrade installer will default to port 80, and not to port 8080.
| 5.3. | On Ready to Install, click Next; then, view install progress. |
| 5.4. | On Completing the KnowledgeTree Document Management Upgrade Setup Wizard, leave Visit ... to continue selected; then, click Finish. |
| 6. | The KnowledgeTree Upgrades page opens in your browser. Review the upgrades required; then, click Upgrade. |
