Step 1: Update your server to version 10.3.9
Use Software Update, if necessary, to update your server to version 10.3.9.
Step 2: Perform an upgrade installation to version 10.4
You can use the version 10.4 installation disc to perform the upgrade installation locally on your server computer if it has a display, keyboard, and optical drive attached.
After the upgrade installation is complete, the computer restarts and Server Assistant leads you through initial server setup. Your existing settings are displayed, and you can change them if you like.
To upgrade to version 10.4 and perform initial server setup locally:
1Make sure that any DHCP or DNS servers your server depends on are running.
2Turn on the computer and insert the installation disc into the optical drive.
3Restart the computer while holding down the C key on the keyboard. The computer boots from the installation disc. You can release the C key when you see the Apple logo.
4When the Installer opens, proceed through its panes by following the onscreen instructions. In the Select a Destination pane, be sure to select the disk or partition on which version 10.3.9 is installed. Click Options, and select “Don’t erase.” Click OK.
5During installation, progress information is displayed.
If you’re using installation CDs (not available for version 10.4.7 or later), insert the next installation disc when prompted.
6After installation is complete, the computer restarts automatically and Server Assistant opens so you can perform initial server setup.
Move through the Assistant’s panes, following the onscreen instructions. Your existing settings are displayed in the panes, but you can change them if you like.
Unless you have a site license, you’ll need to enter a unique server software serial number for each server you upgrade. You’ll find the number printed on the materials provided with the server software package. If you have a site license, a registered owner name and organization must be entered exactly as specified by your Apple representative.
When you use the Directory Usage pane, it’s best to select “No change” in the server’s directory setup. After setup is complete, you can make adjustments if necessary, following instructions in the Open Directory administration guide.
You can’t enable or disable mail service or WebDAV service in the Services pane.
If either service is running when you upgrade, it will be running afterwards. If either service is stopped when you upgrade, it will be stopped afterwards.
To enable or disable mail service or WebDAV service, use Server Admin after initial server setup is complete.
