Hi everyone,
I want to upgrade XWiki to the latest version, using the war package.
Indeed, my XWiki's encoding, as the MySQL database, are latin1
(ISO-8859-1) and with version 1.0, when I display any previous version
of a page using the "History" function, accents and all special
entities
are displayed as "?" (I didn't find any JIRA issue matching this :)
So I can't rollback any page whitout losing accents, and it's the main
reason for this upgrade.
Starting from
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation, i've
read
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise12
wich leads to
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/
ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise112
in my case.
Here what I did on a test server with its own Tomcat and MySQL
containers :
1- copy from the production server the whole $webapp directory and
dump
the xwiki database
change hibernate.cfg.xml that it talks to the copied test database
restart all and check i've the same wiki
2 - delete all the content of $webapp.
unjar xwiki-web-standard-1.1.2.war in this empty directory.
edit /WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg (adding the xwiki.upload.tempdir line),
/WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml (changing the mysql connection) and
/skins/albatross/global.vm (there is a little change in order to
restrict registration with a password).
restart all the stuff (apache, tomcat)
--> I find my wiki as with the 1.0 install, but the bug is still here
3 - import the FixRCS.xar as written on the 1.1.2 release note :
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Main/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise11M…
trying to run it
There's no need to run this script any more as it's been included in
the new automatic database migration process.
When you upgraded to 1.2 you should have seen some logs in the console
or in the xwiki log file about this automatic migration.
Check that all went well.

4 - from this point, updating this 1.1.2 install with
xwiki-enterprise-web-1.2.war and the same process
--> I can't even access to the previous versions of any documents, it
shows me an exception.
Sorry for writing a lot, now my questions :)
1 - Did I understand well the upgrade process ?
Do I have to upgrade first from 1.0 to 1.1.2 and then from 1.1.2 to
1.2 ?
Why running the FixRCS.xar content doesn't work after 1.1.2
upgrade ? Is
that the reason why I can't update to 1.2 after, or why the bug is
still
there ?
I haven't tested all possible use cases (there are just too many
possibilities to try them all easily...). What I would do in your case
is start over from your 1.0 install and try upgrading to 1.2 directly
and see what the automatic upgrade process says. If you get any error
please report it here with the error you're getting. We want to make
this automatic database upgrade seamless so it's important that we
find out whatever can go wrong.
2 - In which XWiki version this "special entities
not displayed in old
revisions with ISO-8859-1 encoding" bug is fixed ?
No idea. Why do you think it's fixed? If you know the jira issue then
you can check the version in which it's fixed.
3 - Has someone tried the same upgrade ? Did U succeed
?
I've tried upgrading from 1.1 to 1.2 but not from 1.0 to 1.2.
Thanks
