SignServer In Place Upgrade

Overview

This guide will upgrade a single node from SignServer Enterprise version 5.4.0 to SignServer Enterprise 5.5.0. In this example, the SignServer host will have an IP Address of 172.1617.130. Please change this IP address to be the IP Address that matches the SignServer node being upgraded.

Download the SignServer binary file from your customer download folder or obtain a copy from support at support@primekey.com.

Copy the upgrade package to the SignServer node using the following method:
1. Using the CLI:
  If using a Mac or Linux based computer use the following command to copy the file to the host (Note: If using AWS, ensure you specify the user as ec2-user with your SSH key and in Azure, specify the user provisioned with your instance)
  BASH
```
scp ~/Downloads/signserver-ee-5.5.0.Final-bin.zip root@172.16.17.130:/opt/dist/
```
2. If using a program such as WinSCP or CyberDuck:
  Click "Open Connection":
  
  Enter the host credentials and click connect:
  
  Select the /opt/dist directory
  
  Drag and drop the file to the SignServer host in the /opt/dist directory.
SSH to the SignServer host and login as root
BASH
```
ssh root@172.16.17.130
```
Change directory to the /opt directory
BASH
```
cd /opt
```
Unzip the upgrade file into the /opt/ directory
BASH
```
unzip dist/signserver-ee-5.5.0.Final-bin.zip
```

Ensure the file extracted into the /opt/ directory by doing a directory listing

BASH

[root@signserver-node-01 opt]# ls -la

[root@signserver-node-01 opt]#

Copy the existing config files to the new SignServer install folder overwriting the default files with the existing files
BASH
```
/bin/cp -f signserver/conf/*.properties signserver-ee-5.5.0.Final/conf/
```
Stop WildFly
BASH
```
systemctl stop wildfly
```
Remove "signserver" symlink
BASH
```
rm signserver
```
NOTE: Ensure it asks you to remove symbolic link!
BASH
```
rm: remove symbolic link ‘signserver’? 
```
If sure, select "y" and press enter.

Create a new symbolic link

BASH

ln -s signserver-ee-5.5.0.Final signserver

Ensure the symbolic link points to the new SignServer directory

BASH

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root    root     16 May 15 17:53 signserver -> signserver-ee-5.5.0.Final

Change the ownership of the new SignServer files (ensure the trailing "/" in the command below so the permissions of the directory are changed and not the symlink itself)
BASH
```
chown -R wildfly:wildfly /opt/signserver/
```

Copy the "signserver.ear" file to the WildFly deployments directory

BASH

/bin/cp -f signserver/dist/signserver.ear /opt/wildfly/standalone/deployments/

Restart wildfly
BASH
```
systemctl start wildfly
```
Ensure the new version of SignServer is 5.5.0 in the Admin UI
