[Archivesspace_Users_Group] SPAM?? upgrading to v1.3.0 question about copying files #linux

[Kutzuba, Jamie]

Hi Jason-

I was a bit confused about this during my upgrade as well. If I remember correctly, it is basically like you are patching the existing version with the new files. You want to cd into the newest version of ASpace and copy those files to the older version. So the first line of code from the instructions should be:

$ cd archivesspace-1.3.0/archivesspace

Followed by a command to copy to the directory of the existing version:
$ cp -a /archivesspace-1.1.0/archivesspace/data/* data/

Because you are overwriting existing files, I recommend saving, at least, a copy of the original config file before you do the update.

I hope that helps.

Thanks- Jamie

Subject: SPAM??[Archivesspace_Users_Group] upgrading to v1.3.0 question about copying files #linux

I have been trying to use the documentation on this page to upgrade from v1.1.0 tp v1.3.0 and have been having a difficult time
https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/UPGRADING.md

My question pertains to this section:

$ cd archivesspace-1.2.0/archivesspace
$ cp -a /path/to/archivesspace-1.2.0/archivesspace/data/* data/
$ cp -a /path/to/archivesspace-1.2.0/archivesspace/config/* config/
$ cp -a /path/to/archivesspace-1.2.0/archivesspace/lib/mysql-connector* lib/
$ cp -a /path/to/archivesspace-1.2.0/archivesspace/plugins/local plugins/
$ cp -a /path/to/archivesspace-1.2.0/archivesspace/plugins/wonderful_plugin plugins/

Earlier on the page it talked about downloading v1.2.0 so I assume when it mentions 1.2.0 it means the new directory that was just unpacked (1.3.0)

I unpacked 1.3.0 to /ArchivesSpace/archivesspace (current working archivesspace program is in another directory)

So I altered the first copy command above and entered this

cp -a /ArchivesSpace/archivesspace/data/* data/

I get an error message

cp: `/ArchivesSpace/archivesspace/data/archivesspace_demo_db' and `data/archivesspace_demo_db' are the same file
cp: `/ArchivesSpace/archivesspace/data/frontend_cookie_secret_cookie_secret.dat' and `data/frontend_cookie_secret_cookie_secret.dat' are the same file
cp: `/ArchivesSpace/archivesspace/data/indexer_state' and `data/indexer_state' are the same file
cp: `/ArchivesSpace/archivesspace/data/public_cookie_secret_cookie_secret.dat' and `data/public_cookie_secret_cookie_secret.dat' are the same file
cp: `/ArchivesSpace/archivesspace/data/solr_index' and `data/solr_index' are the same file
cp: `/ArchivesSpace/archivesspace/data/tmp' and `data/tmp' are the same file

which is I assume because I just told it to copy it onto itself. My understanding is that the copy command syntax is
cp -a <source> <destination>

Even if I put the correct path to my current data set it would copy the wrong way wouldn't it?

--

I tried just deleting the data and config directories altogether and copying them from the v1.1.0 directory but then 8080 and 8081 didn't respond at all when started, so I assume that was NOT the way to go about it.

If you would be so kind as to explain what I am missing here I would appreciate it.

Sincerely,

-Jason
