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.

Hi, I think users want to see examples of migrations from version X to Y instead of the current documentation. For example my previous mini tutorial could be used here : http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade#HUpgradingthewe… rather than what is currently written. Also we could bundle the Java connectors for all the supported DBs into XWiki by default, but that's a different issue :) Thanks, Manuel On Mon, Oct 13, 2014 at 9:49 AM, vincent(a)massol.net <vincent(a)massol.net> wrote:

Yes, Thomas is right. I was talking about bundling all Java connectors in the WAR build.
