I just upgraded my test server to 6.0 and ran into some troubles that maybe others would appreciate hearing about.

Thanks a lot for this email Wayne! 

First there was the mysql root password issue as reported at http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XE-1396

For this one, I guess we should document it on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationViaAPT Would be great if thomas or you could do it! :)

Xwiki still wouldn't start after the upgrade and /var/log/tomcat7/localhost.log said "SEVERE: Error configuring application listener of class org.xwiki ... Unsupported major.minor version 51.0"

Turns out my server had java6 AND java7 installed and I think tomcat was picking up 6 which no longer works for Xwiki 6.0. So I opened up /etc/default/tomcat7 and set the JAVA_HOME var to the java7 folder and now xwiki works again.

For this one, I’m not sure what to do. We do list Java7 as being a requirement at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation#HPrerequisi... I’ve added a troubleshooting entry at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation#HUnsupporte... Let me know if you think this is enough or if you have other ideas to make it simpler for users to install/upgrade. Thanks -Vincent

Hope that helps someone out there... :)
