Belated follow-up now that I’ve got this running, big thanks to Blake at Lyrasis for helping with the non-Windows-specific portion of the upgrade. There were several things I was doing wrong:


·         At one point I was copying over some of the data directory, which turned out to be unnecessary.

·         At another point I had the MySQL server stopped during the upgrade, and it needs to be on to do the upgrade properly.

·         Most important: you may need to delete and recreate your ArchivesSpace Windows service. Even if it’s in the exact same location after the upgrade, it won’t necessarily work anymore.

Since the Windows/MySQL install instructions I typed up last year seemed to be helpful, I’ve typed up a new set of instructions for the upgrade; I hope this will help some people.

Best,

Ben

Hello Ben,

I had the team look into this.

They tested 1.5.2-RC1 as a service on windows and it worked fine.

So, I wonder if there is another issue. I can have the DTS folks follow up with you to see if they can help.

In answer to the query about the roadmap itself, yes we are working on a development roadmap that will provide more specifics as to content and dates and we hope to share more details soon.

Best wishes,

Really? That's kind of crazy. Does anyone know if it's in the roadmap to make it work as a service again?

Ben,

I had the same problem.  Chris told me that AS 1.5 will not run as a service.
So I have to load it the old way.

Br Raphael
Quoting Ben Finberg <bfinberg at okeeffemuseum.org<mailto:bfinberg at okeeffemuseum.org>>:
Hoping for some help upgrading ArchivesSpace from 1.4.7 to 1.5.1
running Windows Server 2008 R2 and MySQL. I've tried following the
main and supplemental 1.4.x to 1.5.x instructions several times and I
keep finishing and getting HTTP ERROR 503 service unavailable.
Here are the steps I'm doing:


1)      Backup.

2)      Delete data/solr_index/index directory. Delete all files in
data/indexer_state directory.

3)      Unzip AS download.

4)      Shutdown AS service

5)      Rename old AS directory from ArchivesSpace to ArchivesSpace.old

6)      Name new AS directory ArhichivesSpace

7)      Copy data directory from ArchivesSpace.old to ArchivesSpace,
replace all files when prompted.

8)      Make three edits in new config.rb file for db_url and jetty
as described in clean install instructions.

9)      Copy mysql-connector*.jar to new \lib directory.

10)   Copy prunmgr and prunsrv to new ArchivesSpace directory.

11)   (I don't have any plugins or mods.)

12)   Running a command prompt as an admin, run setup-database.bat
in the new \scripts folder, then service.bat in the new \launcher
folder.

13)   Start service.

So? Thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?
