[Geoserver-users] update version of geoserver 1.5.3

Arturo_Juarez · February 7, 2008, 6:13pm

Hi, desire to update my version of geoserver 1.5.3 to present, What process I must follow to obtain it??

I have Linux.

thanks

Hi,

it should be sufficient to start the new version (1.6.0 RC3). This usually means uploading a new .war file to Tomcat, and making sure that GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR (either an environment variable or defined in geoserver/WEB-INF/web.xml) points to your configuration.

Don't forget to make backups of everything first.

I am not sure what files / projects you are referring to, but all data associated with Geoserver should live in the directory defined by GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR, which you can read about here: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/4+GeoServer+Data+Directory

If you have never heard of it, then you probably need to copy the "conf" directory from your current GeoServer installation. As I mentioned, make a backup copy of it while you are there, but the new version of GeoServer should be able to use it without any problems.

ok, I am understand,

I will backup my all file of geoserver and will remove it.
I will install the new version.
I will replace the new folder data_dir with the old folder data_dir
I will pruve it.
is right?

thanks

P.D. in the folder data_dir I have my documents, pages and files js.

That should work,

however, in the long run I would recommend you start using the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR, that way it's easier to make backups without including all the code and you'll have one less thing to worry about when upgrading.
