Upgrade from 1.3.1 to 1.3.2 question

I have installed version 1.3.2 on my testing server and now also want to install it on our live server.My question is that is it ok if instead of uninstalling Orthanc 1.3.1 using the windows uninstaller on the server and then installing 1.3.2 using the installer I simply copy the files from the Orthanc install directory on the testing server and replace them (except configuration files of course) on the live server Orthanc install directory (after stopping the Orthanc service) ?

Hello,

The upgrade process should be as follows:

  1. Stop the Orthanc service

  2. Archive all your Orthanc configuration files

  3. Uninstall Orthanc 1.3.1

  4. Install Orthanc 1.3.2

  5. Stop the Orthanc service

  6. Put back your archived Orthanc configuration files (if you wish to preserve your old configuration)

  7. Restart the Orthanc service

Regards,
Sébastien-

I already did it the way I mentioned in my previous post and everything seems to be working fine.Should I still go ahead and do the steps you outlined ?

I everything is working fine, then you’re done, no?

If you do the copy method, you may run into issues when you do need to uninstall it. Also, if you did Sébastien’s method in test, you should do the exact same steps in live, that is why you have test, to test, then replicate the same in live, of you deviate at all, then part of your testing isn’t done. Hope that makes sense.
