Hi everyone, I have the installation of CollectionSpace 4.1 and want to upgrade to 4.2. However, while following the new instructions under "Changes you'll need to make when upgrading to 4.2" I got stuck on upgrading to Tomcat 7. https://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/CollectionSpace+Release+Documentation#CollectionSpaceReleaseDocumentation-InstallingCollectionSpace When I run "tar -xzvof apache-tomcat-7.0.57.tar.gz" I get this error message: tar (child): apache-tomcat-7.0.57.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now I suspect the wiki's instructions are wrong because the last command I ran was to retrieve the cspace-server-4.2.tar.gz, "wget ftp://nightly.collectionspace.org/pub/collectionspace/releases/4.2/cspace-server-4.2.tar.gz " but I am trying to open apache-tomcat-7.0.57, which I believe I haven't downloaded. Could someone double check to see if the wiki has the wrong information and/or send me the correct steps? Thanks! Cheers, RJ

Hi RJ, If you believe a change to that tarball name is warranted for that installation step, you can make the change in the relevant spot on this wiki page; it'll propagate to other pages that reference this set of installation steps: https://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/UNRELEASED/Installing+4.2+on+Ubuntu+14.04 (We're using Confluence 'excerpt' macros to maintain certain blocks of text on just a single source page, and then have changes to that text be automatically reflected on other pages ...) Chad Nelson at LYRASIS is the prime person working on the installation docs for v4.2, as I understand it. You might also coordinate with him, since he'd likely welcome you and others trying out the docs and giving feedback. If you'd prefer that he make any edits, rather than your making them directly, the two of you might work out how you'd like to work together on this. Also, I'm thinking that, in addition to the instructions that already exist, we might also need some instructions on migrating binaries (images etc.) from the old Tomcat 6 folder to the new Tomcat 7 folder. (I'm not sure whether there's anything else that would need to be migrated from the old folder, but that's worth looking into as well.) So we could definitely use as many folks as possible to walk through the entire process and note what changes and additions are needed to the docs, and it's great that you're looking at this. Finally, Ray Lee is our maven at doing CollectionSpace upgrades over the years, and you might talk with him, if you're not already doing that (which I suspect you might already be). He has tons of experience at this; his notes pertaining to past upgrades, posted to various JIRA issues, are a terrific record.
