Configuration files were migrated correctly.
When I restarted tomcat and tried to log in XWiki, xwiki started a wizard.
It downloaded the default XAR, and I saw an inverted triangle to the right
of "CONTINUE" button.
When I moved the mouse cursor over the triangle, I saw a drop-down menu
with "INSTALL".
Instructions are available here:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/DistributionWizard
I thought "INSTALL" would install the
default XAR, but when I clicked it, I
saw the button replaced with a text saying "#execute..." or
"#hold...."(I
can't remember the exact text).
Seems you've been unlucky… It's been working well for a lot of us. Would be
interesting to find out what happened in your case… Would have been interesting to just
refresh the page to see if it helped.
What version of XWiki have you installed?
I assumed xwiki failed to merge the new default XAR
with the old XWiki.
So I clicked "Skip" and continued migration process.
I'm not sure if database migration was successfully done because I failed
to merge the new default XAR via the wizard.
I tried to import the new XAR, and I chose "Replace the document history
with the history from the package" instead of "Add a new version to the
existing document".
This is a very dangerous choice obviously since you loose any local change…
That choice was ok except I had to uncheck some
documents that contain
information of user, right, and password.
That's why you should really use the Distribution Wizard (DW) since it does a merge.
Thus, the Main space WebHome was overwritten, and the
admin password was
reset to "admin".
Please share your experiences with me.
I want to do a lot better next time.
You must absolutely use the DW to have a good upgrade experience.
Thanks
