Applying A Hotfix for Shinydrive Server
Shinydrive’s server component will occasionally need updating separately from the rest of the application. Fortunately this is a straightforward and strictly server-side task that takes minimal downtime and configuration.
The shinydrive-server.war file can be found in this application download’s zip file, shinydrive-suite-#.#.#.#.zip and can be downloaded quickly. Support will be happy to provide the link as necessary.
Steps to replacing the shinydrive-server.war file on your Shinydrive server:
Download the zip file and extract the content.
Locate and set aside the file shinydrive-server.war
stop Tomcat 9. Wait for it to stop.
Locate the webapps folder in your active Tomcat deployment.
Inside this folder there will b a folder called shinydrive-server, and the old .war file. COPY this to a safe back folder such as C:\TEMP\old_shinydrive-server.
DELETE the folder and .war file under webapps. *** ONLY the ones named shinydrive-server ***
Start Tomcat 9.
Copy the new shinydrive.war file extracted in step 2 to the webapps folder.
Wait for it to deploy, the folder shinydrive-server will be created and populated by Tomcat.
Give the system a couple of minute to settle in (3-5).
In your server’s browser (Chome/Chromium-based), start your Shinydrive Admin Page. (http://localhost:8080/shinydrive-server/admin)
You should see your Shinydrive Admin Login Page:
