Due to the new method of installing MDID 3.6 and later it is strongly recommended to perform a new installation and then put the database and images in place.
Follow the installation steps outlined for your operating system
Change the database settings in config/settings.py to point to your existing database
Run mdid migrate to migrate the database
Run mdid solr reindex to refresh the full-text index
Perform a new installation with a blank database.
Copy the config.xml file from your MDID2 installation to a place accessible from the new installation.
If necessary, adjust the <database> section in the config.xml file so that it can be used to connect to the database from the new installation.
Run mdid mdid2migrate path/to/config.xml
Copy the full-size images from the MDID2 installation to a place accessible to the new installation.
In MDID3, under Management>Manage Storages, fix the paths to the different storage directories.
Run a full re-index with mdid solr reindex.
