Re: [xwiki-users] Upgrading xwiki

[hamiazuhk26]

Thanks for a clear explanation. 
Hi, Mohamed. I am too confusing to store, backup files in older version.
The sequence of my problem is like this.
- I am installing xwiki 8.3 version and has import a lot of document, forum
and many more. I want to save my file(backup) so that it easier for me to
migrate it in new version. I had read some notes and it tells me to copy
several file in WEB-INF.
- I try to copy those files in old version and paste it in new version in
the same location WEB-INF but unfortunately, it did not work and after i
open the new version nothings happen. 
*-Can i reconfirm with u with several things:*
* Where is the location of all files, folder that we importing the document
in xwiki? Is it here
C:\Program Files\XWiki Enterprise 8.3\webapps\xwiki\WEB-INF

Help me

Re: [xwiki-users] Upgrading xwiki

[Mahomed Hussein]

You should probably do a full-backup as per the backup instructions and then 
let the upgrade wizard handle the conversion/transfer for you. If you are 
installing a new instance of XWiki and want to restore the old files/documents, 
then you need to say that so people can help you.

As for "what is merge copy", Vincent's response was very clear. If you don't 
understand what "merge" means, then this link will help - 
https://lmgtfy.com/?q=define%3A+merge

Basically it means to combine the old configuration files and new configuration 
files. You do this "manually" by comparing the differences between the old and 
the new files and ending up with a new configuration that has your custom 
changes from the old file (where relevant) plus the new settings from the new 
file. In most cases though if you are doing an in-place upgrade, the wizard 
does this for you (or at least makes it easier).

That being said, I agree with Cuong Hoang, you probably need to get someone 
with a bit more knowledge to do this for you.

Thanks Vincent for fast reply. I didn't clear this statement.

"you should not copy over the configuration files exactly since the new version 
could have added new configuration options”.

If i can't copy over the configuration files exactly, so how do i copy the 
configuration files?.
I am trying to copy the files in older version and paste it in newer version 
seems it is not copying and nothings change in newer version, that's confusing 
me.

I have import a lot of document in older version and now want to back up and 
insert all doc to newer version. How do i make it works? Why, after i copy the 
web-INF files and paste it in new version, nothings change..

Please advice.

Hmm.. if you ask what it's meant by merge than I guess you probably are not
in software development or system administration, in which case I suggest
you contact your system administrator or an experienced software developer,
they can help you do the installation/upgrading. Regards.

It says:

“
Then copy the configuration files and the permanent directory from the old 
installation to the new one. Ideally you should not copy over the configuration 
files exactly since the new version could have added new configuration options 
and thus ideally you should do a merge instead of a pure copy. Another strategy 
is to use the new configuration files, not copy over the old configuration 
files and instead manually edit the new configuration to make the same changes 
as you have may done before (If you've never touched the configuration files 
then there's nothing to do obviously!).
“

What is not clear? It’s pretty clear to me: "you should not copy over the 
configuration files exactly since the new version could have added new 
configuration options”.

FYI I’ve added a way to automated a bit the merge but I fear this may confuse 
you even more:

Re: [xwiki-users] Upgrading xWiki

[[IDIS Technical Secretariat] Ricardo Rodríguez]

Hi Mbas! I started to write this message weeks ago, and only now find time
enough to finish and send it. I hope it still makes some sense for you
or/and anybody else.

I'm afraid, as usual, I've not an easy answer for your question but I am,
and I'm also sure many others, interested in how you are going to face the
process. Migration is always a hard task as, very frequently, plain old
wikis are full with "ad hoc" not easily replaceable/migrable solutions.

Some years ago XWiki guys helped me to move a 1.x XWiki installation to a
XWiki Enterprise 2.4.30451 server and, since 7.x appeared, I've a "peding
upgrade" from that 2.4.30451 to a new 7.x server.

During the last months I've been documenting the process to upgrade within
the 7.x series, and now I feel more or less confortable with it.

Here some notes I would like to share even thought they are still kind of a
mess...

http://portal.idisantiago.es/xwiki/bin/download/ICT/UpgradingXWiki/upgradingXWiki.txt

I'm not sure if I'll be able to move to parameters all variable items and
construct a script, but I'll keep trying!

Also, I'm afraid any migration/upgrade process is very related with the
RDBMS, the application server and the web server (if any) of each
installation. My take now is that in a XWiki migration from an old version
to a brand new installation we have to design/follow a strategy more than
expect to have a fully equivalent upgraded installation.

For instance, I would like to:

1) As users and groups are the core of the system, I would like to "move"
my old XWiki community, the one installed in the 2.4.30451 server, to the
brand new 7.x box, get all users authenticating in the 7.x box and having
access with this login to the "legacy 2.4.30451" box.
2) Once I get this done, I'll frozen my 2.4.30451 community and only allow
it to growth in the 7.x installation.
3) Contents will be exported/migrated on a per-demand/per-opportunity
basis.

While 2) and 3) are easily implementable, I''ve no idea about how to reach
1). Any comment, criticism or idea will be more than welcome!

Thanks in advance,

Ricardo

Re: [xwiki-users] Upgrading XWiki Enterprise From 1.2.2 to 1.6.1

[BSayatovic]

I recently upgraded from a 1.1 milestone to 1.6.0 in one fell swoop.

I did an export from my old installation, installed the new version in a
separate location, tweaked the out-of-the-box config (I kept notes on what
I customized last time so I could re-do it) and then did a selective
import.

I did have some troubles.  My exported XAR was huge and the 1.6.0 VM kept
running out of heap on import.  I ended up excluding history (*sniff*) and
also manually deleting unwanted items from the XAR, as well as increasing
the heap size.

But in the end, it worked!

Regards,
Brian.

Greetings-

I am need to upgrade an installation of XWiki from 1.2.2 to the latest
(currently 1.6.1) and I am trying to put together an attack plan.  Should I
attempt an upgrade all the way to 1.6.1 in one fell swoop or should I
upgrade to 1.3.2 -> 1.4.1 ...etc.  Do I need to upgrade the XAR for every
release or just once?

I am using hsqldb as my database, but after getting everything upgraded
correctly, I will be moving the database to MySQL.

I have searched the archives but I haven't found anything more recent and
also dealing with wide range of upgrading I need to do.

You should go directly to 1.6.1. Only the most recent XAR must be 
imported, but take care not to override important things (groups, users, 
the main page).

Nope, global.vm is by no means deprecated! But it is now stored in the 
/templates folder under /xwiki. All Velocity templates have been moved 
there.


But if you create your own skin and put a global.vm file there, it will 
take precedence over the one in /templates.


Take a look to this...

This might help.

I think this path could go in a FAQ entry. Perhaps it does not make 
sense to propose a way of updating from the zipped standalone 
distribution running on Jetty/hhsqldb to the war one. The standalone 
release is intended to entry level users, and it would be advisable to 
move to the war distribution running on whatever servlet container and a

This is not a good idea. Albatross has changed a lot since 1.2.2 times 
(better, the pair Albatross/Toucan :-), so I think you MUST use the new 
release. I will be glad to help you to recover your customized behavior, 
but first of all we need to work out the collapsed/expanded panels issue.

What do you think?

Re: [xwiki-users] upgrading xwiki 1.2.2

[Joao Henrique Silva Santos]

Hi.
I've upgraded the xwiki from 1.2.2 to 1.3 final using the zip distributions
All I did was:

1 - copy the entire directory to a backup folder
2 - unzip the 1.3 zip file xwiki-enterprise-hsqldb-1.3.zip
3 - deleted the newly created database ($XWIKI_HOME/database), and
replaced it with the backed up database folder.

Then I wanted to implement the changes I had made on the 1.2.2
albatross skin, but since I could not find where to make some changes
(namely how to change the url of the wiki icon, which was defined on
global.vm), I decided instead to:

4 - rename "albatross" (in webapps/xwiki/skins) to "albatrossORIGINAL";
5 - copy to the skins folder the "albatross" folder from my backed up
1.2.2 xwiki

It is now running and so far it seems everything is fine, including user list.

Joao

Yeap, as simple as that :-) XWiki is a great and "simple" stuff!

[Joao Henrique Silva Santos]

Thanks for the info.
I'll try it when I know I have some free time just for the upgrading,
in case something goes wrong. Perhaps later today.
In any case, I'll post some results.

But I have a question, when you say to copy database do you mean only
the "$XWIKI_HOME/database" folder? just like that :-) ?

rgds,
Joao

Touché! :-) Good point. It was me myself who misread your message.

I've once downloaded and used a zipped distribution to debug a problem 
with MySQL (following Vincent advice) and all what I did was to remove 
the folder of the hsqldb database (I don't remember the name and some 
xwiki.org sections are now down for maintenance, but it was easy to 
locate) and configure hibernate.cfg.xml accordingly.

So I am *guessing* that all you have to do is to bring down your servlet 
container, create a backup copy of the whole /xwiki directory structure 
(jsut in case!), put in place the new zip contents, copy your current 
database to the new location and start the container again.

Please, let me knows if this helped. It could be helpful for others if 
we could create a FAQ about this (if it doesn't existe yet!) Thanks.

Best,

Ricado

Touché! :-) Good point. It was me myself who misread your message.

I've once downloaded and used a zipped distribution to debug a problem 
with MySQL (following Vincent advice) and all what I did was to remove 
the folder of the hsqldb database (I don't remember the name and some 
xwiki.org sections are now down for maintenance, but it was easy to 
locate) and configure hibernate.cfg.xml accordingly.

So I am *guessing* that all you have to do is to bring down your servlet 
container, create a backup copy of the whole /xwiki directory structure 
(jsut in case!), put in place the new zip contents, copy your current 
database to the new location and start the container again.

Please, let me knows if this helped. Thanks.

Best,

Ricado

Hi
Yes, I did, but it only mentions the WAR distribution upgrade. Or am I
mis-reading it?

Have you checked out "Upgrading an XWiki Installation" in the following 
location?

http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation

HTH,
