1.5 Upgrading

Follow these steps to upgrade an existing Moab Access Portal installation:

1. Acquire the Access Portal distribution file (it is packaged in tar.gz format.)
2. Extract the contents of the compressed tarball into a temporary directory.
3. Stop the servlet container running the Access Portal web application.
4. If your servlet container (i.e. Tomcat) extracts the contents of installed web application WAR files inside of the webapps directory, delete the extracted files before upgrading to avoid caching conflicts. (For Tomcat, remove the $TOMCATHOME/webapps/map directory.)
5. Run the "setup" script as a user with proper installation permissions.
6. Be sure to enter in the config directory for the current installation when prompted to. The setup script will automatically overwrite existing binaries, but will leave your customized configuration files untouched.
7. Restart the servlet container.
