Updating from the previous AVA

The basic idea behind making AVA is simple, in fact too simple.
It is just a matter of adding onto another virtual machine image.
In this case we already have the previous AVA. So i am using the last one which was AVA315 done by Fer_Luck and Timo Kontro.

First Steps

Get into a fresh latest AVA via vmplayer (refer to ADempiere Virtual Appliance on how to get that.
Launch the web browser within AVA to download the latest binary release from SourceForge
You can alternatively compile the latest source from trunk and upload the binary to some ftp site and download back via the web browser.

Now it is just a matter of setting up as normally expected in a real environment
But first copy the old properties files (Adempiere.properties in both user directory and Adempiere's, AdempiereEnv.properties) so that you need not redo settings during RUN_setup.sh
sudo rm -fr /opt/Adempiere
untar the gz file into /opt directory (gzip -d, tar -xvf, mv source /opt/)
chmod 777 RUN_setup.sh
copy back the properties files
./RUN_setup.sh (select PostgreSQL, use adempiere as DB name, and need to switch to root for this setup)
dropdb adempiere -U adempiere (this is proper way to drop the DB before the import below)
/tools/ ./RUN_ImportAdempiere.sh
You may have to configure back the IP trust for pg_hba.conf and restart the PG with /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.2 restart

./RUN_Adempiere.sh (su adempiere first to login as adempiere user and not root which has no permissions)
/etc/init.d/jboss start (to resume app server for the web UI)
launch web browser and the default is http://adempiere/admin/

Of course Red1 can be dumb and always need fast help. Which i got easily from the IRC room. So here is big thanks to:
