Jon, You should backup your InterMapper Settings folder prior to performing the upgrade. You can then download InterMapper 5.0.4 and run the upgrade. If you are upgrading an InterMapper installation on OS X or Windows, it is a double-click installer that will upgrade your existing installation. If you are running on Linux, please refer to the relevant readme in the download page, as the instructions are different for each distribution of Linux.
After you upgrade the server, you can download and install the InterMapper DataCenter. You don't need to create a database, as InterMapper provides a built-in Postgres SQL database. If you prefer to use your own Postgres SQL database, that is fully supported as well. I've included some helpful links to get you started. The first includes instructions on installing DataCenter, and the second on configuring the InterMapper Database: http://dartware.com/support/tech_notes/imdc.html http://dartware.com/support/tech_notes/im50/imdatabase.html You can download InterMapper and InterMapper DataCenter from this page: http://dartware.com/downloads/binaries/ Regards, Janice Losgar Dartware, LLC -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jon Myers Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2008 3:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [IM-Talk] IM 4.6.8->5.0.4 upgrade Can someone point me to a doc on how to do this upgrade, or should I just install the new DataCenter, and Intermapper, and hope for the best? I'm guessing I need to create a database, as the database server I'd like to use is on another box. I can't remember if I'm supposed to upgrade IMDC or IM first.. especially with this whole 4x to 5x conversion where the database enters the picture. Soon after this, I'd definitely like to take the NetFlows for a testdrive. - - - Jon ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
