Hello Maik,
In order to upgrade your XWiki installataion from 6.1 to 6.2.1 you need to follow these steps: * Download the 6.2.1 WAR file ( http://download.forge.ow2.org/xwiki/xwiki-enterprise-web-6.2.1.war) and extract it into a folder called "xwiki" * Go to your XWiki 6.1 installation folder and replace your "webapps\xwiki" folder with the one from the previous step * Start your server
This tutorial assumes you're using HyperSQL as the DB by default. If you use another DB you need to copy a Java connector to your "xwiki\WEB-INF\lib" folder and also configure your "xwiki\WEB-INF\hibernate.cfg.xml" to connect to your specific DB.
Thanks, Manuel

Hello all together,
I am a bit confused looking at upgrading section, because I have never upgraded XWIKI before, and I just have experience with the regular ".exe" installation process. Can you explain in a bit more detail to me how to upgrade XWIKI with a WAR file? Where can I replace the old WAR file on my server with the newer one?
Would be great to understand how we can improve http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade to make it extra clear what you have to do. I’ve created http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade#HUpgradingthesta... Let me know if it helps. Thanks -Vincent
