Hi!
Today I wanted to upgrade our XWiki installation from 7.4.1 to 7.4.2.
I did a WAR upgrade, following the documentation at
<http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade#HUpgradingthewebapp>
(I successfully performed these steps with previous xwiki versions many times)
In my installation, XWiki runs on apache-tomcat-7.0.61 under java version 1.8.0_73
I use PostgreSQL as database. User authentication is done against our
After restart of Tomcat XWiki started and initialized at first access as usual and
I could login as user with admin rights without problems, but then I noticed some
strange things:
1) the distribtion wizard did not appear after first login with admin rights
2) In the page footer (and with $xwiki.getVersion()) I still see version 7.4.1
Apart from that, the wiki seems to work. I can not see any difference to the
previous version (including the version number, which made me wonder the upgrade
might have failed in some way)
I then removed the .../jobs/status/distribution/status.xml file and restarted
Tomcat, but the DW still did not start and I still see version 7.4.1.
The status.xml file was not re-created, the directory .../jobs/status/distribution
is currently empty.
I checked the following:
*) tomcat/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib contains libraries from Feb. 29th, 2016
*) all xwiki-*.jar files in WEB-INF/lib have version 7.4.2
*) the xwiki WAR file I used is:
andreas@dyn239:~/Download> ll xwiki-enterprise-web-7.4.2.war

8378e85f72ee91a3fb2d279c75f6a40f0d57e84d xwiki-enterprise-web-7.4.2.war
Is this expected behaviour with v7.4.2?
Thanks!

Nope it should say 7.4.2 (as you can see at
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome).
This version comes from a version.properties file located in
[…]/xwiki/WEB-INF/version.properties
Maybe you kept that file from a previous version? Or maybe you have overridden the footer
message in the Admin UI (Page Elements section)?

Hi!
Thanks for the quick response!

found
out that I made a different mistake: I have two tomcat webapp directories on this server

I used the wrong one to install xwiki in. How embarrassing... ;-)
Now with the correct webapp directory and XWiki 7.4.2 I actually get the version 7.4.2 on
the
login page and the distribtion wizard is finally starting.
But at that point I get another error: the distribution wizard fails at step 1 with:

I could not get past this error so I finally decided to stop it and perform
a complete rework of the upgrade process:
1) Deleted XWiki 7.4.2 webapp and database
2) Installed XWiki 7.4.1 webapp and complete database from backup
(yes, I made a backup before starting the upgrade! :-)
3) Checked v7.4.1 did actually run fine again (it did)
4) Started a fresh WAR-upgrade to v7.4.2
This time everything worked fine: correct version, distribution wizard started
and did the upgrade (I skipped a few pages which I had changed previously)
Now it looks like I have a running XWiki v7.4.2.
That shows how important a backup before upgrade can be, even for a minor
version upgrade (like 7.4.1 to 7.4.2)!
Thanks and sorry for the noise!

On the first run of the distribution wizard it did not recognize the original XWiki
version and provided me with a menu to select
the version from. I guess this was the case because I had the
.../jobs/status/distribution/status.xml file removed
(as recommended in
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/DistributionWizard#HThewi…)
So I selected 7.4.1 from the menu, but then got stuck with the "This version is not
compatible with your installation" error.
On the second run, I had everything restored from backup, including the status.xml file.
This time, the DW did *not* ask me for the old version, but went straight to the upgrade
process.
I don't know if this explanation makes sense, but if it does the DW could be made more
robust
when detecting the XWiki version to upgrade from, especially as removing the status.xml
file
is mentioned in the DW troubleshooting section.

No, it's usually because you removed all extensions located in
permanent directory (extension/repository/ folder). Looks like you
cleaned too much stuff. The repair message is not about missing status
but about a database with a lot of documents and not a single
extension registered.
So I selected 7.4.1 from the menu, but then got stuck with the "This version is not
compatible with your installation" error.
There is no such "blocker" error AFAIK. It does indicate you that this
version is invalid (because this version require WAR version 7.4.1)
but it's not supposed to block you in any way, you should have an
upgrade button.
On the second run, I had everything restored from backup, including the status.xml file.
This time, the DW did *not* ask me for the old version, but went straight to the upgrade
