I think 90% of what you wrote is already there. Free free to integrate the 10%
missing, that’s exactly what I meant by “Would be great to understand how we
can improve http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Upgrade to make
it extra clear what you have to do.” :)
Basically instead of responding to the user which helps 1 user I prefer the
approach of fixing the doc which helps N users (see
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Contributing#HStrategiesforansweringquestions).
This is what I tried to do by adding a section to the documentation for Maik’s
need. Now I need to know if what I did helped or not ;)
BTW your mini tutorial is not fully correct since it means potentially loosing
new configuration options.

I don’t think Maik wanted to migrate DB, at least that’s not what he said. But
yes we should probably also have a tutorial for moving from one DB to another
(although we do already have a backup/export page and moving DB is exactly
that: export then reimport, either at DB level or at XAR level).
Thanks

PS: One possible issue with Maik’s case is that he may not be a java person. He
may not even know how Servlet Container work. This is what I added the new
section which doesn’t require any knowledge of Java/Servlet container (no need
to even know what a WAR is).
