Standalone and Tomcat

The newer version of Artifactory contains again a full installation zip.

To upgrade without using any security settings closely follow these steps:

  1. Export all your existing repositories using the UI.
  2. Shutdown Artifactory.
  3. Remove/move aside the $ARTIFACTORY_HOME/data/jcr folder.
  4. Make a copy of your $ARTIFACTORY_HOME/etc/artifactory.config.xml file.
  5. Unzip the new verson and copy it over to $ARTIFACTORY_HOME.
  6. Replace the exiting $ARTIFACTORY_HOME/etc/artifactory.config.xml with the artifactory.config.xml copy you made earlier.
  7. Restart Artifactory.
  8. Reimport all your repositories using the UI.
On Unix you may also wish to reisntall the artifactoryctl script.

Updating the deployed war file on Tomcat

While Tomcat is down, copy the new $ARTIFACTORY_HOME/webapps/artifactory.war file to Tomcat's webapps folder.

ATTENTION: Avoid hot-deploy and make sure to delete the extracted artifactory folder under Tomcats' webapps folder before copying over the war file.
