To update a server to a newer version, download and unzip a new server install package on the same host as the server you wish to update. Then, use the 'update' tool from the new server package to update the older version of the server. Before upgrading a server, you should ensure that it is capable of starting without severe or fatal errors. During the update process, the server is stopped if running, then the update performed, and a check is made to determine if the newly updated server starts without major errors. If it cannot start cleanly, the update will be backed out and the server returned to its prior state. The 'revert-update' tool can be used to return the server to a previous version once an update has finished. Note that unlike the 'update' tool which operates on a remote server, 'revert-update' operates on the server root from which it is invoked. This tool copies the files that would be needed to return this installation to a prior version in the 'history' directory. These files can be removed if you are sure a reversion to the prior version will not be necessary.
