Upgrading from Prior Versions of Express Server

To upgrade from versions of Express Server prior to version 8, complete the following steps:

1. Create a backup of your existing image catalogs for reference. By default the Express Server catalog configuration is stored in the following location:

   <Installation Directory>/ImageServer/etc/cat-cfg.xml

   NOTE: Express Server versions prior to 8 used a catalog configuration file that is not compatible with later versions of Express Server. You can use this file as a reference, but you cannot restore the catalog configuration file.

2. Uninstall Express Server.

   • On Windows, open the Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and select LizardTech Express Server.

   • On Linux, run the uninstall.sh script stored in the following location:

     <Installation Directory>/installrecords/

3. Run the installer for Express Server 9. For more information, see Installation.
4. Re-create your image catalogs in the Express Server Manager. For more information on creating image catalogs, see Creating and Maintaining Catalogs.
