Where are the 64 bit installation instructions

tford

I think I need to move to 64 bit installation & remember reading instructions somewhere but I can't find them using the forum search tool.

Hoping someone has them bookmarked & can point me in the right direction.

Here is cut & paste from my documentation:

Update MySQL Connector:
To install an updated MySQL connector, follow these steps:

Download platform independent version 5.1.xx from the MySQL website
Extract the files and rename mysql-connector-java-5.1.27-bin.jar to mysqlconnector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar
Copy and replace the existing file in C:\AwareIM\Tomcat\lib
Restart AwareIM server 6.2.6 Install the 64 bit Java JDK

Install 64 bit JDK:
In order for the AwareIM components to use significantly more memory, it is necessary to install the 64 bit Java JDK. To install the 64 bit Java JDK, proceed as follows:

Download the JDK for your operating system at this link: Download
Install the JDK on your server machine. This is necessary (at least on Windows) to register the DLLs.
In Windows, the JDK will be installed in C:\Program Files\Java\jdkxxx if you install to the default location.
In your AwareIM folder tree, rename C:\AwareIM\JDK to JDK32 - just making a backup.
Create a new folder named JDK in this location.
From the \jdkxxx folder, copy the \bin and \lib folders to the new JDK folder.
Rename C:\AwareIM\Tomcat\lib\tools.jar to tools32.jar.
Copy tools.jar from the \JDK\lib folder to C:\AwareIM\ Tomcat\lib folder.
Restart AwareIM.

On top of JDK & Connector, you can also find info on the latest 64bit Tomcat & mySQL upgrades here:

kklossen:

1) the link to your previous post doesn't seem to work for me?? Are there other details there?

2) do these updates need to be made every time you install a new AwareIM build?

Rennur:

1) Your note mentions 64 bit Tomcat. Is that necessary to be compatible with 64 bit Java installation.

My ultimate goal is to do whatever is necessary to be able to increase the memory allocations available to AwareIM.

On item 1: when they updated the board a months ago it seems the base URL changed in some way. It's searchable.
On item #2, yes. Mark has developed a script using a tool called Winautomation that puts everything back the way you need it.

Your note mentions 64 bit Tomcat. Is that necessary to be compatible with 64 bit Java installation.

64bit JDK can run on 32bit Tomcat.
But I prefer to be consistent across the board and ensure all components are 64bit where possible.

Crazy ... I can't seem to find kklossen's original post via the search tool:

http://www.awareim.com/forum/post/26193

If anyone else can find the current link to his previous post, it would be greatly appreciated.

Rennur

Here is the link

Replace /phpBB2/ with /forum/

Now I see why I could not find the post via forum search. The original post was about the MySql connection & not about 64 bit Java upgrade.

Found a couple of post s on JDK

When AwareIM dies

INFO: JAVA JDK 8

Sounds interesting,

Mark can you comment on this? (what you did and if it fully works? + share steps/script possibly?). Another related thing, can we use WinAutomation possibly to FIND and DELETE all tempfiles in the Aware IM folder? They are really causing problems and in one of the latest builds it got even worse, now they aren´t even deleted when updating to a new build.
