[crugnoc]

Hi all,
what is the correct way to upgrade the software under ubuntu server?
Is there documentation about that? I have to reinsert the key and the configuration or not?
I have a "pro" edition since 2 mounth.
Regards in advance

Hello!
Sorry for the late reply.

what is the correct way to upgrade the software under ubuntu server?

It's all simple. You need just uninstall old version of Xeoma using this command (if you want to keep archive and config files saved):

./xeoma.app -install -removeexe

After that you need to download a new wersion:

wget http://felenasoft.com/xeoma/downloads/xeoma_linux64.tgz

Unpack it:

tar –xvzf xeoma_linux64.tgz

And install it (for example if you want to set Server into autostart):

./xeoma.app -install -coreauto


Also the console displays a short help when accessing Xeoma:

Code: Select All Code

Usage:  Xeoma.app [-command] [-argument]
Commands:
     -help   (show this help)
     -core   (run server only)
     -client (run client only)
     -install [-argument] (working with argument only)
               -allmanual (install Server and client with manual start)
               -allauto   (install Server and client with auto start)
               -coreauto  (install Server (autoStart) and client (manualStart)
               -hiddenmode (install Server (autoStart) hidden mode used)
               -removeall (remove all, include Archive and config files)
               -removeexe (remove program. Leave Archive and config files)
     -activateOnline   [Serial];[Serial];...
     -activateRequest  [Serial];[Serial];... (offline activation)
     -activateResponce [ActivationData]  (offline activation)
     -showpassword     (show current password and set enable network access)
     -startdelay [seconds] (delay before starting in seconds)
     lang=[language] (i.e. for english:'lang=en'; for russian: 'lang=ru'  etc.)

Hope this helps. Please don't hesitate to ask us questions, we are happy to help.

I tried the above on Ubuntu 15.04, when attempting to upgrade the server from v15.8.14 to v15.10.7. I received a few errors in the de-install command, and afterwards /usr/local/Xeoma seemed largely unaffected:

# ./xeoma.app -install -removeexe
Remove programm files (leave Archive) ... * Ok > popClientFromAutorun
* Ok > unInstallClientShortcut
* Ok > unInstallCoreShortcut
* Ok > unRegisterInSystem
* Ok > unRegisterCoreAsService
grep: grep: No such file or directory
grep: xeoma.prerm: No such file or directory
* Ok > removeExeOnly
* Ok > uninstallExe
Ok

Despite the errors above, I tried the install command and it appeared to proceed without errors. However, the server is still running v15.8.14. I tried restarting the init script, same result.

Do you all know what may have caused the above grep errors from xeoma.app, or if there's a verbose option to allow me to troubleshoot?

Thanks

Hello!

You can use -install -removeexe command in your console to uninstall Xeoma with settings saving (if your Xeoma is installed).

After that you can launch Xeoma 15.10.7 (http://felenasoft.com/xeoma/en/download/) and install it (if needed).

You can check console command here: http://felenasoft.com/xeoma/en/help/commands/

Or you can connect via Xeoma Client, go to Main menu - Information - Check for updates

If previous version of Xeoma is not installed, you can simply download the new version and launch it.
