Procedure: How to Install Hyperstage Under Windows
  1. Download the install package to the Windows Server machine on which you are installing Hyperstage.

    Please wait while the Install Wizard completes the installation.

  4. Choose if you want Hyperstage to start on completion of the installation. Click Finish to complete the installation.
  5. The Install Wizard automatically creates Hyperstage as a Windows Service, which allows the Hyperstage server to be started and stopped automatically when you boot or shut down Windows. If you do not want Hyperstage to start on boot, open the Services window from the Control Panel and change the Startup Type for Hyperstage from Automatic to Manual.
  6. The Install Wizard automatically determines the optimum memory settings based on the physical memory of the system. You may change these settings by editing the brighthouse.ini file within the data directory.

    Important: The memory settings assume that there are no other services on the machine consuming significant memory. If this is not the case, please lower the memory settings for Hyperstage.

Procedure: How to Upgrade Hyperstage Under Windows

Before upgrading, be sure to read the latest release notes for any special upgrade instructions.

  1. Follow the standard Hyperstage Windows installation instructions. The Install Wizard automatically detects a previous version of Hyperstage and upgrades your Hyperstage installation while preserving your data and configuration settings. The install procedure automatically runs the Configuration Manager.
  2. Start the Hyperstage server from the Start Menu.
  3. Create or ensure that the c:\tmp directory exists. (This is necessary for step 4).
  4. Run the MySQL Upgrade utility from the Windows command line:
    cd "C:\ibi\Hyperstage\bin" mysql_upgrade.exe --defaults-file="C:\ibi\Hyperstage\my-ib.ini" -uroot --tmpdir=c:\tmp 
     

    Important: The MySQL Upgrade utility may display several errors regarding the use of locks with log tables and errors requiring table upgrades. The errors are all handled automatically by Hyperstage and/or the upgrade utility and can be ignored.

  5. Stop and start the Hyperstage server from the Start Menu.
