Directory Server Upgrade Process

Directory Server Installation and Upgrades Version 10
Updated March 6, 2020
asked on March 4, 2020

I'd like to upgrade my existing 10.4.1 version of Directory Server to the newer 10.4.3 version.

I can't find any documentation regarding steps involved, or how to maintain the existing configuration under the new version. 

Note: I have tried to just run the newer installer, however I get hung up when I attempt to open the LFDS web site (it asks for DB information - like on a new install).  When I enter the appropriate information from the previous install/existing database I get an error similar to "database is already attached" but can't get by that screen.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

You should back up the database as well as your config files ("C:\Program Files\Laserfiche\Directory Server\LFDS.exe.config", "C:\Program Files\Laserfiche\Directory Server\Web\WebSTS\Web.config", and the config files in "C:\ProgramData\Laserfiche\LFDS") in case you need to roll back.

The SQL permissions should include: create stored procedures, create tables, read, write, and execute stored procedures

Hi John,

All that will be necessary is to backup your existing setup, run the new installer, set up the endpoint utilities (https://www.laserfiche.com/support/webhelp/Laserfiche/10/en-US/administration/Default.htm#../Subsystems/LFDS/Content/InitialConfiguration.htm%3FTocPath%3DDirectory%2520Server%7CInstallation%2520and%2520Initial%2520Configuration%7C_____2), and reconfigure your STS Configuration page settings (they will be reset for the upgrade to 10.4.3). Your licensing site should not become detached unless there was a problem updating the schema of your database.

You're clicking the "attach site" button to re-attach and it's not working, correct? If so, I recommend providing your SP with the event logs of the upgrade and re-attach attempts and having them open a case with our Support team.

Thanks for the Reply Chase.  Can you clarify the 'backup existing setup' step?  Are you referring to the database?  Also, what SQL permissions are necessary for the installer to be able to update the db schema?

That was it! (db permissions) 

Thanks again Chase!
