A minor upgrade of Content Station is an upgrade of an existing Content Station 9 installation to a new version of Content Station 9, for instance upgrading Content Station version 9.4.0 to version 9.8.8.
Note: Make sure to read the Release Notes of all versions for any important installation or configuration details.
1. Installing Content Station Web
The minor upgrade of a Content Station Web installation consists of upgrading the Content Station Web components in Enterprise Server.
Note: You might want to make this process part of installing a minor upgrade for Enterprise Server itself. (See Enterprise Server 9 minor upgrade) The rest of this article describes a scenario where the upgrade is installed as a separate step.
Step 1. Install Content Station Web.
Note: Non-Asian languages are all languages except Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Malayalam.
Step 1a. Download Content Station Web from the software download page by downloading the file that does not have '[CJK]' in its file name.
|
Example: Download the file named Content Station 9.x.x Build xxx - Web instead of Content Station 9.x.x Build xxx - Web [CJK] |
Step 1b. Unzip the file and re-name the resulting folder to contentstation.
Step 1c. Copy the folder to the root folder of the Enterprise server (that means: in the same folder where the config and server folders are also located.) The location is dependent on the system and HTTP Server used (Apache/IIS), but should normally be in one of the following locations:
- Mac OS X: /Library/Web Server/Documents/Enterprise
- Windows: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Enterprise
- Linux: /var/www/html/Enterprise
Step 1a. Download Content Station Web from the software download page by downloading the file that has '[CJK]' in its file name.
|
Example: Download the file named Content Station 9.x.x Build xxx - Web [CJK] instead of Content Station 9.x.x Build xxx - Web |
Step 1b. Unzip the file and re-name the resulting folder to contentstation.
Step 1c. Copy the folder to the root folder of the Enterprise server (that means: in the same folder where the config and server folders are also located.) The location is dependent on the system and HTTP Server used (Apache/IIS), but should normally be in one of the following locations:
- Mac OS X: /Library/Web Server/Documents/Enterprise
- Windows: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Enterprise
- Linux: /var/www/html/Enterprise
Step 2. Test Content Station Web by entering the new URL in a Web browser:
http://<Server URL>/contentstation
Example: http://localhost/contentstation
Step 3. Make the upgraded Content Station Web installation live by doing one of the following:
- Replace the full folder content of the old (current production) contentstation folder with the full folder content of the upgraded contentstation folder.
- Remove the old (current production) contentstation folder and rename the new contentstation folder so that it matches the name of the old (current production) contentstation folder.
- Keep the newly created folder and provide all users with the new URL. Once the new Content Station Web version is taken into production, you might want to remove the old contentstation folder.
2. Installing Content Station AIR
Note: Non-Asian languages are all languages except Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Malayalam.
Step 1. Download Content Station AIR from the software download page by downloading the file that does not have '[CJK]' in its file name.
|
Example: Download the file named Content Station Mac 9.x.x Build xxx - Air instead of Content StationMac 9.x.x Build xxx - Air [CJK] |
Step 2. Unzip the downloaded file.
Step 3. Double-click the Content Station installer to start the installation.
This can happen on Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) systems after running an installer which has been downloaded from the Internet (as opposed to obtaining it from an FTP site or network).
Make sure to select the option “Don’t warn me when opening applications on this disk image”.
|
Note: When not selecting this option, Content Station is correctly installed but when launching it, the following message appears: “Content Station” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. |
Step 4. Click Install.
The Settings window appears.
In the Installation Preferences section, the check box to automatically start Content Station after installation is selected by default.
Step 5. (Optional) Clear the check box Start Application After Installation when Content Station should not be started when the installation is completed.
In the Installation Location section, the default location is entered where Content Station will be installed:
- Mac OS X: /Applications
- Windows: C:/Program Files
Step 6. (Optional) To change the location, do one of the following:
- Manually enter a new location
- Click the Folder icon to browse to a location
Step 7. Click Continue.
Content Station will now be installed.
When Content Station is successfully installed and the check box to automatically start Content Station was cleared, a message appears that the installation is completed.
When the check box to automatically start Content Station was selected, Content Station appears.
Step 8. (Optional, for non-English Windows platforms only) Set the path to the WWSettings.xml file by installing the correct install.xml file:
From the unzipped build folders, locate the config folder and copy the correct file for your type of operating system to the folder where Content Station was installed (each file holds the path to the location of the WWSettings.xml file):
- Windows Vista: WinVista\install.xml
Note: Making use of Malayalam requires Content Station 9.5.0 or higher.
Step 1. Download Content Station AIR from the software download page by downloading the file that has '[CJK]' in its file name.
