OpenWGA 7.0 - Updating to OpenWGA 7.0

Updating from OpenWGA 6.0 » Doing the update

Installations from the debian linux repository

This is the installation type which is the simplest to upgrade. In a console simply issue the following commands under superuser rights:

apt-get update

apt-get install openwga7.0-ce

Or, if you are a customer of the OpenWGA enterprise edition:

apt-get update

apt-get install openwga7.0-ee

The first command will fetch most up-to-date packages available on debian repositories.

The second command will install the new version OpenWGA 7.0. This will automatically fetch the new version, shutdown OpenWGA server, replace the OpenWGA server version and start the server again.

Note that the package name of OpenWGA has changed with version 7.0. It now includes major and minor version. With this every OpenWGA feature version will have its own package name. This is to prevent a simple "apt-get upgrade" command, which should only install maintenance versions, from unattendedly upgrading to a new feature version.

Please note:

  • Sometimes OpenWGA takes too long to shutdown so the upgrade will not be able to start the server again after doing the upgrade. You can see this from the console output of the "apt-get upgrade" command. If it does not say that it successfully started OpenWGA server again you should do so manually by issuing command "/etc/init.d/openwga start", still under superuser rights.
