Installing MarkLogic Server

Upgrading from Release 9.0-1 or Later

To upgrade from release 9.0-1 or later, follow these steps:

  1. Stop MarkLogic Server (as described in step 1 of Removing MarkLogic).

  2. Uninstall the old MarkLogic release (as described in Removing MarkLogic).

    Note

    If you want to uninstall MarkLogic 9.0-4 or later, and if the converters package was previously installed with it, you will have to perform a two-step uninstall: first uninstall MarkLogic Converters and then uninstall MarkLogic Server. For more detail, see MarkLogic Converters Installation Changes Starting at Release 9.0-4 and Removing MarkLogic.

  3. Install the new MarkLogic release (as described in Installing MarkLogic).

    Note

    If you want to install MarkLogic 9.0-4 or later, and you plan to use the converters package with it, you will have to perform a two-step installation: first install MarkLogic Server and then install MarkLogic Converters. For more detail, see MarkLogic Converters Installation Changes Starting at Release 9.0-4 and Installing MarkLogic.

  4. Start MarkLogic Server (as described in Starting MarkLogic Server).

  5. Open the Admin Interface in a browser (http://localhost:8001).

  6. When the Admin Interface prompts you to upgrade the databases and the configuration files, click the button to confirm the upgrade.

If you are upgrading a cluster to a new release, see Upgrading a Cluster to a New Maintenance Release of MarkLogic Server in the Scalability, Availability and Failover Guide. The Security database and the Schemas database must be on the same host, and that host should be the first host you upgrade when upgrading a cluster.

If you are upgrading two clusters that make use of database replication to replicate the Security database on the master cluster, then you must enter the following to manually upgrade the Security database configuration files on the machine that hosts the replica Security database:

http://host:8001/security-upgrade-go.xqy?force=true

Warning

There is no direct upgrade path from Early Access releases to this release. If you need to move any data from an Early Access release to this release, you must re-create the data in the current release.
