NAME
ovdb_upgrade - Perform any needed upgrades on the ovdb database
SYNOPSYS
ovdb_upgrade
DESCRIPTION
The ovdb_upgrade command is be used to upgrade the ovdb database when migrating to a newer version of the BerkeleyDB library (in which there is a change in BerkeleyDB's internal db format). The upgrade is done in-place, and is not reversable. Here is an example procedure to upgrade a database created with BerkeleyDB 2.x to use BerkeleyDB 3.x: 1 Install BerkeleyDB 3.x 2 Do a `make clean' in the INN source tree 3 If BerkeleyDB 3.x is installed into a different path than the 2.x version, run configure again, specifying the new path. For example: `./configure --with-berkeleydb=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.x [... other options]' 4 Shut down INN (e.g., with `rc.news stop'). Be sure to kill all nnrpds as well. 5 Do a `make update' to build INN with the new BerkeleyDB version and install the new binaries. 6 Run `ovdb_upgrade' as the news user. 7 Start INN with `rc.news'
