PageSeeder installation and upgrade instructions

New installation on Windows

Once the prerequisites such as database and JDBC driver described in New installation have been performed the following instructions can be used for a new PageSeeder installation on Windows 10 or higher.

Installing PageSeeder

  1. If not installed already, install Java 21 (or Java 8 for PageSeeder v5 — see which version of java) as follows:
    • Go to https://adoptium.net/  and choose Other downloads > JDK 21 - LTS.
    • Download the Windows installer and run it.
  2. Download and run the latest pageseeder-x.exe file, available under the Install folder on the Download page.
  3. Once the install commences, follow the on-screen prompts.
  4. When the PageSeeder Developer Utility opens, click Start.
  5. When PageSeeder starts, click Setup and fill in the Setup form.

Starting and stopping PageSeeder

Use the Start-Stop Developer Utility under the PageSeeder program group.

If you have problems with the developer utility, you can do the following at the command prompt or in a batch file (substitute your own JAVA_HOME path):

c:
cd \pageseeder\default\tomcat\bin
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-21.0.7.6-hotspot
startup

To stop, you can type shutdown at the command prompt or press Ctrl-C in the startup window.

Uninstalling PageSeeder

Stop PageSeeder and then select PageSeeder > Uninstall [instance] from the Start menu.

Some document and config folders might need to be removed manually.
