Upgrading
Upgrading to MDID 3.7 from earlier versions of MDID 3
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 databaseRun
mdid migrate
to migrate the databaseRun
mdid solr reindex
to refresh the full-text index
Upgrading from MDID2
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 theconfig.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

.
