[Archivesspace_Users_Group] RHEL 7 instance install question.

Mon Sep 28 14:57:39 EDT 2020

Eric,

I will be copying those over to the new server with the directories that are coming from the old server I thought.  Is that right?

Thanks,

Rick

Hi,

Perhaps this is too rudimentary;  but did you configure the new AS instance to look to mysql (define path and password in config file and get the extra JAR file)? You should only see the Jetty DB is you haven’t configured these things.   Just an idea.

Thanks Joshua!

Just to be clear,  Is this the order?

  1.  Add mysql to new server.
  2.  Dump old server mysql
  3.  Start mysql on the new server.
  4.  Ingest the sql dump on the new server.
  5.  Run setup-database.sh on the new server
  6.  Start Archive Space on the new server.

I have already installed and Archive Space and have actually seen it working with the embedded database.  Have I messed up?

Thanks!

Rick

Hi Rick-

Its always a good idea to run the migration step for any update of the application, since schema changes happen pretty frequently.

I'd do the db dump and import as you were planning, but just add that additional step of running scripts/setup-database.sh before starting up on the new server.

Good afternoon,

My situation is that I am setting up a new server and need to transfer our Archive Space instance to the new server  I realize that I need to copy the directories and the jar file but then I saw the item below and find it confusing.  I thought I would simply dump the database on the old server and then ingest it into MySQL on the new server.  After seeing this I am trying to figure out if I even need to do a ‘migration’ this since I have the versions in the table below and they are similar.

New Server

Old Server

AS version

2.5.2

2.5.0

Java version

1.7.0_261

1.7.0_261

MySQL version

5.1.73

5.5.52

  1.  Does anyone know if I need to do the migrations?
  2.  Is it simply a matter of running setup-database on the old server and then copying something to the new server?

  1.  That should be fine. I have openjdk version "1.8.0_265" on Ubuntu locally here.
  2.  I've run it on MySQL and Maria, old and new, and didn't see any trouble with the versions I tried. I normally run it on MySQL 5.7.

Good morning,

We are no longer going to be using the oracle java implementation due to licensing issues.  I am getting ready to upgrade our operating system on our current server to RHEL 7 and so I will probably be installing Version 2.8.

  1.  I see in the installation guide that I should use Java 1.8.   Can I use java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64?  I think so but just want to make sure.
  2.  Do you have a suggestion as to which database to install (MySQL or MariaDB) and which version of that?  I will migrating the database from the RHEL 6 server and just want to mitigate any possible issues that I might encounter.  I am currently running MySQL  Ver 14.14.

Thanks!

Rick Neal
