Playing around with Sitecore 9.0 Update 1 Installation

Viet Hoang

Sitecore Experience Platform 9.0 Update 1 (aka Sitecore XP 9.0.1) has been out recently. It’s a good chance for me to play with the update package and the installation. Upgrading from a fresh Sitecore 9.0.0 is a piece of cake (have a quick look at notes).

About the installation, there are some updates:

Note: personally, I wanted to use my own install directory rather than the default one.

  • open A step by step guide for Sitecore 9 installation on your machine
  • follow Step 1 to Step 4
  • from Step 5 to Step 7: play with SOLR 6.6.2 instead of SOLR 6.6.1
  • follow Step 8 and Step 9
  • bypass Step 10, do this step instead: download and unzip Package for XP Single (Note: must log into https://dev.sitecore.net/before downloading)
    • copy / paste Sitecore 9.0.1 rev. 171219 (OnPrem)_single.scwdp.zip to D:\sc9_install
    • copy / paste Sitecore 9.0.1 rev. 171219 (OnPrem)_xp0xconnect.scwdp.zip to D:\sc9_install
    • unzip XP0 Configuration files 9.0.1 rev. 171219.zip and copy / paste all files to D:\sc9_install
    • sc9_13
    • download zip file and unzip it then copy / paste 02 files below to D:\sc9_install with overwrite option:
      • sitecore-XP0.json
      • xconnect-xp0.json
  • follow Step 11
  • bypass Step 12, do this step instead: download sc9_install_customDir.ps1 and copy / paste it to D:\sc9_install then open it to correct 05 parameters below:
    1. $prefix
    2. $InstallDirectory (Note: this one is to specify your own install directory)
    3. $SqlServer
    4. $SqlAdminUser
    5. $SqlAdminPassword
  • follow Step 13
  • bypass Step 14, do this step instead:

How to uninstall it?

  • download sc9_uninstall.ps1 and put it into D:\sc9_install then open it to correct 07 parameters below:
    1. $Prefix
    2. $InstallDirectory
    3. $SolrService
    4. $PathToSolr
    5. $SqlServer
    6. $SqlAccount
    7. $SqlPassword
  • open Windows PowerShell (run as administrator)
  • change directory to D:\sc9_install
  • execute .\sc9_install
  • sf20_5.png
  • hopefully, it runs well and cleans everything up
