A. Shut down the Wiki Engine#

B. Preserving changes made by you#

1. Preserve your JSPWIKI.POLICY and JSPWIKI.PROPERTIES from the WEB_INF folder by copying them to your CONFIGURATION folder.
   • This is just for safe keeping. These files would only be overwritten if there was also a new release of the JSPWIKI software.
2. Examine any data in the FILES\OLD folder to determine if changes need to be preserved
3. If there are any pages that do not start with Internal. then these pages have been modified by you and you may wish to keep your changes
   1. This would be done by copy the TXT files with that name from the FILES directory into your CUSTOM folder
   2. Check for a folder in the ATTACHMENTS folder with the same name (and an -att suffix) to assess if any attachments (graphics, files, etc) have been changed by you and if so, move these folders into your CUSTOM folder

C. Installing the new Wiki documentation release#

1. Remove all but Internal. files from the FILESfolder
2. Unzip the new Wiki documentation release into the WIKI folder (which will extract into the FILES and ATTACHMENTS folders)
   • This will leave any discussion pages (Internal. pages) untouched, as they are not part of the distribution

D. Restoring any changed files#

1. You can replace any files and attachments you have changed by moving back the versions from your CUSTOM folder

E. Clean up System Files#

1. You may (optionally) choose to clean out the LOG directory. Once the maximum number of log files (as configured in your JSPWIKI.PROPERTIES file) has been reached, the directory will not grow beyond that size.
2. Delete all content in the TEMP folder - This will cause the Wiki Engine, when started, to re-index all the pages.

F. Startup the Wiki, with the new release information#
