Upgrading the IBM Lotus Domino server

So, what is truly involved in upgrading the Lotus Domino server?

1. 1. The first thing to do is ensure the qpconfig.xml file (found in the default installation directory of root\IBM\lotus\domino\data) and all the places and PlaceTypes have been properly backed up.

2. 2. Make sure the IBM Lotus Domino server has been shut down and any Web applications or services which listen on, or use the HTTP port 80 for TCP/IP or IBM Lotus Domino itself are stopped.

3. 3. Run the setup.exe found in your installation files and follow the on-screen directions to complete the upgrade.

4. 4. If you will be using the Quickr connectors and we strongly encourage everyone to do so, be sure to install the newest versions of the Quickr connectors. This will provide access to IBM Lotus Notes, IBM Lotus Sametime, Microsoft Windows Explorer or Microsoft Office applications.
