Upgrading MindTouch (MSI)

If you are currently running Mindtouch on Windows using the Kilen Woods MSI (version 8.08), and would like to upgrade to the newest version of MindTouch (MindTouch 2009), go through the following steps.

Backup your MindTouch install

Backup MySQL

Bring up the Windows console and type the following with the substitutions as follows:

<user> - replace with username that you are accessing mysql with
<password> - replace with the password for the user
"C:\backups\wikidb.sql" - replace this with where you want the dump to be put.  You must create a backup directory first to save this to.

"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqldump" -R -u<user> -p<password> 
--result-file="C:\backups\wikidb.sql" wikidb


Backup Attachments

Copy the following folder to the backup directory:

C:\Program Files\MindTouch\MindTouch\data\files

 

Backup Service Storage

Copy the following folder to the backup directory

C:\Program Files\MindTouch\MindTouch\data\servicestate

 

Upgrade install

Note: If you are running the MSI version 8.08.1a or earlier, you will need to perform a manual upgrade.

After backing up your MindTouch install, download MindTouch 2009 and run the MSI. The MSI will launch, and you will see the following screen. Click Next to continue.
