Virtuoso Upgrade

Question

I have a Virtuoso version 06.01.3127 installed on Ubuntu 14.04.05 LTS version (Ubuntu-server).

I would like to upgrade my Virtuoso to at least version 7.2.4.2+, which includes the GeoSpatial features that I need.

I have looked the info provided in the following link Virtuoso: Upgrading from Release 6.x to Release 7.x but I have not been able to follow these steps.

To start with, the second step "Check the size of the .trx file, typically found alongside the .db and .ini files". I can only find the odbc.ini and virtuoso.ini files, which are inside /virtuoso-opensource-6.1 folder.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Does anyone have any guidance in this matter?

Thanks in advance

OpenLink Software (producer of Virtuoso, employer of me) does not force the location of any file -- so we cannot tell you exactly where to look on your host.

virtuoso.db is the default database storage file; your local file might be any *.db. This file must be present in a mounted filesystem, and should be fully identified (with full filepath) within the active *.ini file (default being virtuoso.ini).

You might have multiple virtuoso.ini and/or virtuoso.db files in different locations in your filesystem. You might try using some Linux commands, like --

find / -name virtuoso.db -ls
find / -name virtuoso.ini -ls
find / -name '*.db' -ls
find / -name '*.ini' -ls

Installing the binary components is done by following the instructions for installation...

You can get advice from a lot of experienced Virtuoso Users on the mailing list...
