- Stop the application server.
- Extract the new Magnolia bundle.
- Replace JAR files in the
WEB-INF/lib
folder of your old Magnolia instances with new JARs from the bundle. - Remove any module JARs you had previously removed from your instances. Add any modules you might have added.
- Add new introduced modules - see Adding the privacy modules.
- Optional: Delete all indexes to give them a little boost. Delete the
index
folder under each workspace directory:repositories/magnolia/workspaces/<workspace>/index
. Indexes are recreated on startup, which might take a while depending on the size of your repository. - If you customized
magnolia.properties
files, compare the changes to the file in the new bundle. Properties may have been added and removed. - Read release notes for all intermediary versions for any additional update tasks.
- Restart the application server.
- Using your browser, go to the Magnolia instances and run the Web update.

Update to your latest minor release version first before upgrade to recent major release. A June 2018 example: a customer is considering an upgrade from 5.5.8 to 5.7. The correct sequence would be: 5.5.8 →
→Artifact resource link rangeHigherVersion 5.6 groupId info.magnolia.bundle artifactId magnolia-bundle-parent label $version renderType display_only resourceType POM
→ 5.7Artifact resource link rangeHigherVersion 5.7 groupId info.magnolia.bundle artifactId magnolia-bundle-parent label $version renderType display_only resourceType POM - Update all external libraries required by the Magnolia release to which you intend to upgrade.
- Carefully look for "change" or "changes for ..." sections in the release notes since.
- Because the upgrade process takes time and is vulnerable to incidents, please minimize the risk by cleaning up your system, removing unused data, reindexing everything and doing a full backup first.
