Upgrading to META-SHARE v3.0

Please see the META-SHARE Installation Manual for detailed guidelines.

Upgrading META-SHARE v3.0 to v3.0.1

Unless you have made any changes to the installation files of your META-SHARE v3.0 installation, upgrading from v3.0 to the new release should be more or less simple:

  1. Stop your META-SHARE v3.0 server (./stop-server.sh under metashare/).

  2. Rename your META-SHARE v3.0 installation directory. Download the new META-SHARE version and extract it to an empty directory with the name of the previous installation directory.

  3. Copy your v3.0 local_settings.py file (under metashare/) to the new installation. If your STORAGE_PATH setting should point to a directory under metashare/, then copy/move your storage folder to the new installation, too.

  4. Add the new LOCK_DIR setting to your local_settings.py file as specified in the new local_settings.sample file.

  5. Make sure to use corrected UPDATE_INTERVALS settings in your local_settings.py file, e.g., as specified in the current local_settings.sample file.

  6. Recreate your search index. Under metashare/ run:

./start-solr.sh
python27 manage.py rebuild_index --noinput
./stop-solr.sh
  1. Start your new server (./start-server.sh under metashare/).
