Upgrade binaries, configuration, runtimes, etc

[kilucas]

The General Upgrade Process document on the wiki says that an upgrade entails a new installation of the Alfresco binaries and configuration. Is this what I get in the community 3.2r download at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Download_Community_Edition or is there another location where I find these? (I'd wondered whether the big zip file contained more than I needed to replace and hence whether its use might unduly disturb my current installation. And I thought I'd seen a page with a variety of downloads for example that included or excluded JDKs for example, but all the links I can currently find just take me to a simple community edition page with a single Windows download).

The wiki also says that I may have Alfresco Runtimes and a FileSystem Receiver. I have a fairly vanilla implementation of v3.0.0 on Windows XP and so am not clear whether I have these two things or not. Is there any easy way to tell perhaps?

Many thanks

You can replace the war files in alfresco/tomcat/webapps. These war files you can download at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Community_Edition_file_list_32r2 and select the "Alfresco war files".

The filesystem reciever is a WCM component. I think you would kno if you had the WCM distribution.

Very helpful. I've downloaded the war zip and hope to have a crack at the upgrade over the weekend.
Many thanks.
