that they must each be configured to use different ports for the built-in web server and
any web server adapter.
Be aware, however, that there is no mechanism to carry your current configuration
settings, custom tags, logs, and
wwwroot documents (if you used the built-in web server)
from the current installation to another. Section 9.4 offers information to help preserve
current settings and implement them in the new installation.
9.3 Updating a Given Server Edition at a Given Version
It is not permissible to install a given version of the same edition of a BlueDragon Server
product more than once. This includes trying to install a point release or beta when the
same version is already installed (such as when installing BlueDragon Server JX 6.1 beta
3 where BlueDragon Server JX 6.1 beta 2 is already installed).
You must uninstall the existing version first and then install the new version, but you
must take care to protect previous work, settings, and logs from the previous installation.
As discussed in Section 10.1, the uninstall process removes all files and directories
associated with the BlueDragon Server installation. There is no automated process to
protect the settings, documents, and logs of the release you’re uninstalling. You can
preserve much of it manually, however, as discussed in the next section.
9.4 Protecting Previous Work, Settings and Logs
When planning for an upgrade, you should make backup copies of some (if not all) of the
directories in the previously installed BlueDragon installation.
One suggestion before performing an uninstall (if you might want to keep the previous
settings for reference) would be to:
1. stop the service (or daemon, in Linux/Unix)
2. copy the directory containing the BlueDragon installation (such as
c:\BlueDragon_Server_61) to a new location
3. rename it to indicate that it’s a backup of the previous version (you can’t simply
skip 2 and rename the directory before uninstallation, as the uninstall process
expects to find the program directory in its original location)
4. perform the uninstall
This way, when the uninstall process removes all the files from the original directory, you
still have access (for easy reference) to the files that were in that previous installation.
As you consider what files and directories in the installation directory might be consider
