[xwiki-users] upgrade from 1.3.2 to 1.6.1 -- new administrations tool is NOT working.
I've upgraded from Xwiki enterprise 1.3.2 to xwiki enterprise 1.6.1 on Linux Centos distro using kernel 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5. The upgrade has been performed as described in the documenation. In principle removing the old xwiki dir and copying the contents of the new 1.6.1.WAR i9 in /opt/xwiki and making changes to the xwiki.cfg file. I couldn't copy the old xwiki.cfg from the installed 1.3.2 because the contents has changed between 1.3.2 and 1.6.1. The hibernate.cfg.xml however hasn't changed between 1.3.2 and 1.6.1. Hence I could copy the old hibernate.cfg.xml file to the WEB-INF dir of 1.6.1. After the upgrade everything seemed OK. The content was still there as were the created users and spaces. As version nummer 1.6.1 instead of 1.3.2 was shown in the footer of each page. As of version 1.5 there is a new Aministration application which afaik is bundled with xwiki enterprise. The url is <url>/xwiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences. When I try to access this page on my upgraded system I get the message "The administration application is not installed. Since XWiki Enterprise 1.5 the Administration is distributed as an application. You can download it from http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/AdministrationApplication.". I've double checked it on my windows system with Stable: xwiki-enterprise-installer-windows-1.6.1.exe. When entering the url I get the new Administration tool. At this moment I can't admin my xwiki system. PS. I did the upgrade at least twice. The first install was performing the upgrade manually, the second time I used a shell script to make sure I didn't make mistakes. In both cases I got the same results. Unless I interpret things the wrong way something is wrong with my upgraded system. Any help is very much appreciated.

This message means that you must download and install the administration application, it is not supposed to be automatically installed. Please post here if you have any problem with the installation process. Pay attention to the pages that you must exclude from the install : XWikiPreferences, XWikiAllGroup, etc. This is documented in the application download page : http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/AdministrationApplicationD... Thanks, JV.

JV thanks for the response. I've read all release notes between 1.3.2. and 1.6.1. Only the release note for 1.5 mentions the new Administration panel. I've reread it again. It seems I did get burned because I did also install an 'installer version' on my windows system. Apparently in THAT version the downloadable apps IS included in it. This gave me the false idea that something was not working correctly with my upgraded system.. Will dl app and try to install it. But I've to admit that I had hoped that the install would be easier and that I don't have to exclude things. Do you know of a reason why a simple install isn't possible. Am I correct when I say that xwiki.cfg is the only config file for xWiki and that the rest of the config is stored in the database -- overriding xwikif.cfg. This database contains the config stuff as well as t he content. Is it possilbe to simply export users/spaces/pages so you can import then again in a new database or... Did the RTFM thing but can't seem to find the exporting stuff I need. Any hints/tips are appreciated.

I have also run into an issue with this. I have an XWiki 1.1.2 instance I have been working on. Got it upgraded to 1.4 just fine, but when I try to go to 1.5 or 1.6, I get the admin message. After downloading the .xar, I can upload it to the xwiki, but when I click on it to import the pages, it always says there are no pages to import. I also tried importing the xwiki-enterprise-wiki-1.6.1.xar and get the same issue. No pages to import. Any ideas? Jean-Vincent Drean wrote:
