Chapter 2: Preparing to Upgrade
Before you begin
As with any software upgrade project—especially one that affects a workgroup—communication
and planning are very important. Before you begin upgrading or adding modules to your Breeze
installation, Macromedia suggests that you do the following:
•
Allocate enough time to ensure a successful upgrade. Macromedia recommends that you
schedule one day of downtime for a Breeze upgrade.
•
Let your users know in advance that they won’t be able to use Breeze during the upgrade. Also,
let them know what types of changes they can expect (such as new features or improved
performance) after the upgrade.
•
Back up all Breeze content, the database, and the custom.ini and config.ini configuration files
using the following procedures.
Backing up your Breeze files
To back up your Breeze files:
1.
Stop all Breeze services. From your Windows desktop, select Start > Programs > Macromedia >
Macromedia Breeze > Stop Breeze Server.
2.
Make a copy of the content directory within the Breeze installation path. The default location
is C:\breeze\content.
3.
Make a copy of the config.ini file within the installation path. The default location is
C:\breeze\appserv\conf\config.ini.
4.
Make a copy of the custom.ini file within the installation path. The default location is
C:\breeze\.
5.
Stop the database service:
■
From your Windows desktop, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative
Tools > Services. Right-click MSSQLSERVER in the Services window and select Stop
from the context menu.
6.
Back up your database files:
■
If you’re accessing the embedded database engine, make backup copies of the database files
breeze.mdf and breeze_log.ldf. The default location is C:\mssql\data\.
■
If you’re using Microsoft SQL Server, you can use the Enterprise Manager to back up your
database. On your Windows desktop, select Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server >
Enterprise Manager. In the Tree pane of the Enterprise Manager window, select the Breeze
database (named
breeze
, by default), and then select Tools > Backup Database.
