Additional Notes

Upgrading an existing Cloud Instance Virtual Machine

Simply execute the relevant command for your operating system:

  • Ubuntu — apt update & upgrade
  • RedHat — yum update

Manually overwriting an older binary with the latest edition

If adopting this approach to your upgrade, i.e., copying the Virtuoso server binary (virtuoso-iodbc-t) manually to replace an existing binary, you MUST also update the libraries in the Virtuoso ~/hosting sub-directory, due to incompatibilities between the latest binary and previous plugin versions.
