I have had a similar issue migrating from a much older GeoServer version to a new one and my solution was to NOT migrate the data folder in it's entirety but instead to migrate only some components. I won't pretend to understand the underlying issue but it fixed it for me. The components I migrated resulted in me having all of the important stuff in the new GeoServer version and a running GeoServer. I migrated the following in the order specified:
- workspaces - security - styles If you want to try this here are the steps: 1. shut down tomcat 2. go to your freshly installed data folder (....your_tomcat/webapps/geoserver/data) 3. mv -rf fullpath_to_your_backup/workspaces/* workspaces/. 4. mv -rf fullpath_to_your_backup/security/* security/. 5. mv -rf fullpath_to_your_backup/styles/* styles/. 6. cd .. 7. chown -R tomcat:tomcat data 8. restart tomcat Hope this helps, Vera On Wed, Jun 5, 2019 at 9:03 AM Uwe Seher <uwe.se...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello group! > At the moment i have a hard problem.
