Re: [xwiki-users] xwiki - missing search, empty right 'drawer' menu after upgrade from 7.1.4 to 8.0

I'm trying - so far unsuccessfully - to upgrade it to more recent version. I've tried 7.4.3 and 8.0 but in both cases I end up with broken UI - the search bar at the top is missing - http://www.bankfotek.pl/image/1995162, the right hand 'drawer' menu has much has only Log-in/Log out buttons: http://www.bankfotek.pl/image/1995161 . In contrast this is how 7.1.4 looks like: http://www.bankfotek.pl/image/1995168 The steps I'm taking during the upgrade process: * i move the old instance of the xwiki into another folder * there are no files left by the old instance * i download and unzip xwiki-enterprise-jetty-hsqldb-7.4.3.zip or xwiki-enterprise-jetty-hsqldb-8.0.zip * i copy webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib/mysql-connector-java from the old xwiki installation * i also copy the whole data/storage from the old instance

* i modify the webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF hibernate.cfg.xml coming from 7.4.3 or 8.0 and comment out there the definition of <property name="connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:file:${environment.permanentDirectory}/database/xwiki_db;shutdown=true</property> <property name="connection.username">sa</property> <property name="connection.password"></property> <property name="connection.driver_class">org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</property> <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property> --> and replace it with own connection string to local mysql in the xwiki.cfg taken from 7.4.3 or 8.0 i add: xwiki.store.attachment.hint=file xwiki.store.attachment.versioning.hint=file xwiki.store.attachment.recyclebin.hint=file xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl xwiki.authentication.ldap=1 Then I start the new xwiki using: ./start_xwiki.sh -p 8090 -ld /tmp/ When I visit the newly installed wiki [also after logging in] - there's no Distribution Wizard - just a familiar front page of our wiki.

I've tried triggering the Distribution Wizard by removing data/jobs/status/distribution/status.xml and restarting the xwiki but it did not help. I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions that can help me with bringing 8.0 to fully usable state. -- regards, Pawel Kudzia -- regards, Pawel Kudzia _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
