Hello,

can you post the entirety of the error? This is too little information to be able to make qualified assumptions / suggestions.
Have you tried incremental upgrades, i.e. first upgrading to 4.0 and then to 4.2?

Regards
Axel

Greetings Axel,

I came across the incremental page just now (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/General_Upgrade_Process). No, I have not tried it yet.
The "fix" to the error I posted was actually (I think) due to me failing to switch the database over from Postgresql to MySql.
But now that I've done that I have a NEW error #

AlfrescoRuntimeException: 11110000 Keystores are invalid
MissingKeyException: Key metadata is missing from keystore /var2/sandbox/alfresco-4.2.e/alf_data/keystore/keystore

It looks like a hiccup of sorts, somewhere. Keystores wouldn't be in path <b>keystore/keystore</b>, would they?

Thanks,
Lucille

OK so I decided to try installing Alfresco-Community-3.3-Linux-x86-Install on the new server. Server is Red Hat Linux, x86_64. chmod +x Alfresco-Community-3.3-Linux-x86-Install. And the file will not execute. Why…?

Re keystore. They were added for alfresco 4. So take the keystore folder that was created in alf data with the new install and copy it to your alf data copied from your 3 instance.

If you decide to use solr you may also want to use a similar trick.
