Hi!
Today I wanted to upgrade our XWiki installation from 7.4.1 to 7.4.2. I did a WAR upgrade, following the documentation at <http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade#HUpgradingthewebapp>
(I successfully performed these steps with previous xwiki versions many times)
In my installation, XWiki runs on apache-tomcat-7.0.61 under java version 1.8.0_73 I use PostgreSQL as database. User authentication is done against our
After restart of Tomcat XWiki started and initialized at first access as usual and I could login as user with admin rights without problems, but then I noticed some strange things:
1) the distribtion wizard did not appear after first login with admin rights 2) In the page footer (and with $xwiki.getVersion()) I still see version 7.4.1
Apart from that, the wiki seems to work. I can not see any difference to the previous version (including the version number, which made me wonder the upgrade might have failed in some way)
I then removed the .../jobs/status/distribution/status.xml file and restarted Tomcat, but the DW still did not start and I still see version 7.4.1.
The status.xml file was not re-created, the directory .../jobs/status/distribution is currently empty.
I checked the following:
*) tomcat/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib contains libraries from Feb. 29th, 2016 *) all xwiki-*.jar files in WEB-INF/lib have version 7.4.2 *) the xwiki WAR file I used is:
andreas@dyn239:~/Download> ll xwiki-enterprise-web-7.4.2.war - -rw-rw-r-- 1 andreas outlaws 230759467 29. Mär 13:32 xwiki-enterprise-web-7.4.2.war
andreas@dyn239:~/Download> sha1sum xwiki-enterprise-web-7.4.2.war 8378e85f72ee91a3fb2d279c75f6a40f0d57e84d xwiki-enterprise-web-7.4.2.war
Is this expected behaviour with v7.4.2?
Nope it should say 7.4.2 (as you can see at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome). This version comes from a version.properties file located in […]/xwiki/WEB-INF/version.properties Maybe you kept that file from a previous version? Or maybe you have overridden the footer message in the Admin UI (Page Elements section)? Thanks -Vincent
Thanks!
