3.2.3: Upgrading Version 4.0 Advanced Single Server Edition

The following process is applicable only if you have previously purchased and installed Advanced Single Server Edition, Version 4.0:

  1. If you have IBM HTTP Server installed, uninstall it.
  2. Install the latest Advanced Single Server Edition product. If you uninstalled IBM HTTP Server in step 1, specify Custom installation in this step. Then select IBM HTTP Server and its plug-ins for installation with the application server.

The installation program backs up certain directories to a backup directory under the Version 4.0 installation root, which requires about 15MB of storage, and installs the new version into the same directory in which Version 4.0 was installed.

  • On UNIX platforms, the backup directory is called backup40.
  • On Windows platforms, the backup directory is called was40aes_backup.

All installed applications are backed up, their configurations are migrated, and they are deployed into the new application server installation. However, if you have made changes to the applications provided by IBM, see the following section.

Limitations to this process

  • Upgrade of the Version 4.0 trial is not supported.
  • The upgrade process backs up log and configuration files as well as the following applications provided by IBM, if installed: admin, sampleApp, Samples, and petstore. Updated versions of these applications are then installed and deployed. Any user-modified bindings and mappings for the previous version of these applications are not restored by the installation program. To restore bindings and document descriptor files for these applications, copy the files from the backup location.
