• First of all compile the new version from the sources as described AlienInstallSourceFlorianUhlig (on all sites??).
• Shutdown the central alien services as user alienmaster that the mysql database is in a proper state.
  • /misc/cbmgrid/Etch64/_old_version_/etc/rc.d/init.d/aliend stop
• Create a backup of the mysql database.
  • /misc/cbmgrid/Etch64/_old_version_/bin/mysqldump --all-databases -h lxir027.gsi.de -P 3307 -u admin --password="sehr geheim" > "mysql_backup_file_name"
• Shutdown mysql as user alienmaster
  • /misc/cbmgrid/Etch64/_old_version_/etc/rc.d/init.d/alien-mysqld stop
• Shutdown ldap as user aleinmaster
  • /misc/cbmgrid/Etch64/_old_version_/etc/rc.d/init.d/alien-ldap stop
• Create a backup of the ldap directory
  • cp /home/alienmaster/.alien/var/lib/alien-ldap /home/alienmaster/.alien/var/lib/alien-ldap-before-_new_version_
• Take care that you change all occurrence of old_version to new_version. For example .bashrc or .alien/Environment /home/alienmaster/.alien/etc/aliend/CBM/startup.conf
• Edit the new version of the alien ldap startup script in /misc/cbmgrid/Etch64/_new_version_/etc/rc.d/init.d/
• Compare the slapd.conf in /home/alienmaster/.alien/etc/aliend/ldap with the version in /misc/cbmgrid/Etch64/_new_version_/etc/openldap/. Adapt the changes needed.
• Startup ldap as user aleinmaster
  • /misc/cbmgrid/Etch64/_new_version_/etc/rc.d/init.d/alien-ldap start
• Check the ldap log file if ldap has started. The standard log directory is $HOME/.alien/var/log/. If there is no log file check in /misc/cbmgrid/Etch64/_new_version_/etc/rc.d/init.d/alien-ldap for the correct log file location.
  • More changes needed in /home/alienmaster/.alien/etc/aliend/ldap/slapd.conf ?
  • Some schema files still missing ? => Try reinstalling alien-admin
  • Database versions do not match ? (Program version 4.8 doesn't match environment version 4.5) => Upgrade the database
    • Enter the directory where the db is stored (defined in slapd.conf) /home/alienmaster/.alien/var/lib/alien-ldap .
    • Run db_recover from the old alien version /misc/cbmgrid/Etch64/_old_version_/bin/db_recover -v
    • Run db_upgrade from the new alien version /misc/cbmgrid/Etch64/_new_version_/bin/db_upgrade
• Try to start the ldap as user alienmaster again. If it works it's good if not redo the last steps.
• Edit the new version of the alien mysql startup script in /misc/cbmgrid/Etch64/_new_version_/etc/rc.d/init.d/
• Startup mysql as user aleinmaster
  • /misc/cbmgrid/Etch64/_new_version_/etc/rc.d/init.d/alien-mysqld start
• Edit the new version of the aliend startup script in /misc/cbmgrid/Etch64/_new_version_/etc/rc.d/init.d/
• Edit the startup.conf in /home/alienmaster/.alien/etc/aliend/CBM/startup.conf. The following variables have to be added.
