Upgrade

Upgrade your Matrify Server to the latest version while keeping your data.

Make sure you have backups of your system, and in particular of the data folder, before you start.

1. Download

Get Matrify Server from the Download page.

2. Extract

Extract the ZIP archive to a temporary folder of your choice. The archive contains:

  • start.sh: starts the server
  • stop.sh: stops the server
  • matrify-server-x.x.x.x/: the Matrify Server software
  • data/: configuration, database files and logs
  • jre1.x.x_xx/: Java Runtime Environment

3. Upgrade

  1. Stop Matrify Server (see the Installation guide).
  2. Back up the existing installation, and in particular the data folder.
  3. Replace the folder matrify-server-x.x.x.x/ and the files start.sh and stop.sh.
  4. Upgrading from 1.0.x.x to 1.1.x.x: the format of user IDs has changed, so you need to create the user accounts again.
    • Sign in as "admin" and create the required user accounts. Email addresses are no longer supported as usernames.
    • On the file system, go to the folder "data/accounts" and rename the account folders to match the new usernames.
  5. Start Matrify Server again.
  6. Check that everything is working.

Your server is now up to date.
