This guide will walk you through upgrading your Lobbytrack Intranet 8 installation to the latest version. The process is very similar to installation with the additional steps of backing up and restoring app data.
Backup App Data Folder
- Open Windows Explorer.
- Go to the folder where Lobbytrack Intranet 8 is installed, typically C:\inetpub\wwwroot.
- Copy the App_Data folder to your desktop.
- Verify that the folder on your desktop contains the config files, membership.sdf, workstation.sqlite and jolly.log.
Upgrade Lobbytrack Intranet
- Obtain the latest web deployment package, LobbyTrackIntranet8Setup.exe, from the Jolly Support Team.
- Copy the package to the IIS server where Lobbytrack Intranet 8 is currently installed.
- Run the exe to extract the zip archive.
- Edit LobbyTrackIntranet.SetParameters.xml using a text editor such as Notepad.
- Locate
<setParameter name="IIS Web Application Name" value="Default Web Site/lobbytrack" />
- Set the value to the URL that you use to access the app. The site name portion must match the name of the website as configured in IIS.
Examples:
value="visitor.company.com" access at http://visitor.company.com
value="visitor.company.com/lobbytrack", http://visitor.company.com/lobbytrack - Save the file.
- Open PowerShell using Run As Administrator.
- In PowerShell, cd to the directory where you extracted the LobbyTrackIntranet.deploy script.
- Run the deployment script in test mode using the command
.\LobbyTrackIntranet.deploy /t
- If there are any errors, make the appropriate corrections
- Run the deployment script in deployment mode using the command
.\LobbyTrackIntranet.deploy /y
Restore App Data Folder
- Open Windows Explorer.
- Go to the application folder where Lobbytrack Intranet 8 is installed, typically C:\inetpub\wwwroot.
- Copy the App_Data folder from your desktop to the application folder, replacing the existing folder and files.
- You should now be able to access the updated site as normal.
