- Extract (unzip) the files to a directory (this will be your new installation directory, and must be different to your existing installation directory)
- Go to the file
<Installation-Directory>\confluence\WEB-INF\classes\confluence-init.properties, and update the lineconfluence.hometo point to the existing local home directory on that node. - If your deployment uses a MySQL database, copy the jdbc driver jar file from your existing Confluence installation directory to
confluence/WEB-INF/libin your new installation directory.
The jdbc driver will be located in either the<Install-Directory>/common/libor<Installation-Directory>/confluence/WEB-INF/libdirectories. See Database Setup For MySQL for more details. - If you run Confluence as a service:
- On Windows, delete the existing service then re-install the service by running
<install-directory>/bin/service.bat. - On Linux, update the service to point to the new installation directory (or use symbolic links to do this).
- On Windows, delete the existing service then re-install the service by running
Copy any other immediately required customizations from the old version to the new one (for example if you are not running Confluence on the default ports or if you manage users externally, you'll need to update / copy the relevant files - find out more in Upgrading Confluence Manually).
If you configured Confluence to run as a Windows or Linux service, don't forget to update its service configuration as well. For related information, see Start Confluence Automatically on Windows as a Service or Run Confluence as a systemd service on linux.
- Start Confluence, and confirm that you can log in and view pages before continuing to the next
step.
