That's a good question, as I had the same confusion when I first
upgraded. Basically, the installer automates 4 major steps: Install the
WAR, install a servlet engine (Jetty), install the database (HSQL), and
install the XAR. So upgrading overtop of the installer is really not
much different from upgrading overtop of a manual install. It would be
a good idea to familiarize yourself with the manual install procedure to
better understand what's going on; it's really not terribly confusing or
complicated.
(That being said, the last time I attempted to upgrade, I must have
messed something up, as my history stopped working, but I'm pretty sure
that happened for other reasons.)
I thought about editing the wiki page to clear this up, but I couldn't
figure out a decent way to word it. If someone else would like to take
a stab at it, I'd love them for it.

Subject: [xwiki-users] How to upgrade xwiki 1.1.2 stable to 1.1.2
milestone2?
Hi,
I search and read through the upgrade info from this link below.
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation#HUpgradingan
XW
ikiInstallation
It said that the general strategy for upgrade is to download the WAR
Distribution and to replace your current installed WAR.
Since I did an initial xwiki install using the standalone xwiki
enterprise
window 1.1.2 installer, how can I upgrade to 1.1.2
milestone 2 without
losing any current data? To be more specific, which file should I
download
and use?
Thanks,
YinKee
