Upgrading SDL Contenta S1000D on a Contenta Web Server
Install SDL Contenta S1000D and the LiveContent Preview styles on the server where Contenta Web is installed.
About this task
If you have Contenta Application Server and Contenta Web Server on the same computer, you do not need to install the SDL Contenta S1000D software twice or upgrade the database again.
Procedure
- Ensure that you have the correct version of Java.
At a command prompt, type: java -version
See SDL Contenta S1000D Platform Requirements for details.
- To install on a UNIX Web server, do the following:
- Log in as root.
- Mount the Contenta S1000D ISO file by performing the following steps.
- From a command prompt, type: mkdir /mount-point (where mount-point is the name of the directory where you will mount the ISO).
- Type mount -t iso9660 -o loop cdrom.iso /mount-point (Where cdrom.iso is the name of the ISO file and mount-point is the directory you just created.
- If you are running the installation from a remote system, set the display: setenv DISPLAY name or IP address of remote system:0
- Type ./install.bin, and then press Enter.
- To install on a Windows Web server, do the following:
- Log in with administrator privileges.
- Using Windows or a third-party utility, mount the Contenta S1000D installation and upgrade ISO file.
- Double-click install.exe on the mounted Contenta S1000D installation and upgrade ISO file.
- In the SDL Contenta S1000D Found - Upgrade screen, click OK.
- Click Next.
- Click I accept the terms of the License Agreement, and then click Next.
- Review the installation details, and then click Install.
- When installation is complete, click Done.
Note: LiveContent Preview default styles are installed in the Contenta_home\web\cw_common\custom\S1000D_CVPreview\styles\s1000d directory. If you have custom LC Preview styles that you want to use instead, see Using Customized LC Preview Styles.
- On UNIX Contenta Web servers that have XPP installed on them, source the following files: /pdm/bin/cw.cshrc and /etc/xyvision/xyv.cshrc.
- Restart Apache Tomcat.
- Navigate to the Contenta_home/web/cw_common/custom/S1000D_Upload directory and check the file size of the S1000D_Catalog.prop file. If this file is zero-length, configure local entities (required to run S1000D Validate). See the Configuring the Upload Tool and other S1000D tools to Use Local Entities topic in the SDL Contenta S1000D User Guide for details.
- If XPP is installed on your Contenta Web server, verify that the path contains the Perl bin directory. For example, C:\Perl\bin.
- If you publish PDFs and you are running XPP 8.1 or XPP 8.2, navigate to the Contenta_home/distr/web/cw_common/custom/S1000D_Publish directory and open the new PublishConfiguration.xml file (or PublishConfiguration_Unix.xml if your Contenta Web server is UNIX). Find the XPP_GraphicFormats property, and remove the bmp, gif, and png graphics file formats from the value. These three file formats are supported in XPP 8.3 and higher.
- Whether you are publishing PDFs or IETMs, navigate to the Contenta_home/web/cw_common/custom/S1000D_Publish directory and back up your existing publish configuration files: PublishConfiguration.xml and similar files.
- Compare the new PublishConfiguration.xml file (or PublishConfiguration_Unix.xml if your Contenta Web server is UNIX) with your existing publish configuration files, and merge all of the new and updated settings into your existing publish configuration files. The new PublishConfiguration.xml and PublishConfiguration_Unix.xml files are delivered to the Contenta_home/distr/web/cw_common/custom/S1000D_Publish directory.
