Thanks for the reply - I basically upgraded directly from 4.2c -> 5.0c. Choose solr1, unchoose solr4 and
unchoose Sharepoint.

I used this article as my base: http://geekwithattitude.blogspot.com/

Then basically I used winmerge to compare a clean install to our current live version.

I copied and replaced:

….\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\web-extension (Copied and replaced old version)
….\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension     (Copied and replaced old version)
….\tomcat\conf\catalina.properties              (Copied and replaced old version)
….\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco-global.properties (Changed the relevant url's etc.)
….\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\log4j.properties (Copied over)
….\tomcat\work\Catalina\localhost\solr\WEB-INF    (Copy whole folder)
….\tomcat\webapps\share\js\forms-runtime-min.js and forms-runtime.js (Copy files)
….\tomcat\webapps\share\jquery\jquery-1.9.1.js and jquery-1.9.1.min.js (Copy files)
