Upgrade from Previous Versions

 

This chapter describes the procedure for upgrading your ISL Conference Proxy from versions 3.1/3.2/3.3/3.4/3.5/4.0/4.1/4.2 or versions 2/3.0.x.

ISL Conference Proxy 3.1.0+ includes online update functionality - updating is performed through the ISL Conference Proxy administration (login to your ISL Conference Proxy administration and select Online update on the left).

Please follow the instructions below in order to upgrade your ISL Conference Proxy version 2 or 3.0.x to version 4.3.0.

Note: These instructions are also available in the file Readme.html when you create a new ISL Conference Proxy 4.3 packet.

Important: Prior to release of ISL Conference Proxy 4.1.0 the ISL Conference Proxy processes were running as root (administrator). With release of ISL Conference Proxy 4.1.0 the root privileges are needed only for binding ports (confproxy_service) and for the first installation of ISL Conference Proxy. After that the ISL Conference Proxy will run in unprivileged mode (confproxy_server). When ISL Conference Proxy is installed it will also add a new user (islcp) under which the ISL Conference Proxy is running.

Note: Upgrading from old version of ISL Conference proxy will add user islcp to the system and change the permissions of files in ISL Conference Proxy folder.

Note: We detected that change of permissions on Windows can take long time on large number of files (multiple hours for bug ICP installations ~30GB). We recommend that you try upgrading first on test server with production database (copy production ISL Conference Proxy folder to new machine and run new ISL Conference Proxy 4.3.0 installer).
