Upgrading

The steps below show how to perform an upgrade using the Typical mode of

installation on UNIX:

1. On your Directory Server 6.0x or 6.1x host machine, log in as root or

superuser (

su).

2. Stop the server.

# serverRoot/slapd-serverID/stop-server

Create a new directory, for example:

# mkdir ds62

# cd ds62

Download the Directory Server product binaries file to the directory you

created.

5. Unpack the product binaries file using the following command:

# gunzip -dc filename.tar.gz | tar -xvof -

where filename corresponds to the product binaries that you want to unpack.

6. In the list of files, locate the setup program.

7. Run the setup program by issuing the following command (from the

installation directory):

./setup

The setup program asks if you would like to proceed with the setup.

8. Press Enter to respond with the default (the default for this prompt is Yes)

or press

n if you would like to exit the setup program.

(If you want to log in as

root or superuser (use the su command), you will

need to exit the

setup program.)

9. Next, the setup program asks you if you agree to the license terms. Press y

to agree with the license terms.

10. When you are asked what you would like to install, press Enter to select the

default, Netscape Servers.
