Hi Simon

This means that there must be another extension file that is overriding the value as well and setting it back to ./alf_data - or - there isn't a xxxx-context.xml file that references the custom-repositories.properties (e.g. custom-repository-context.xml).

I'd guess the 2nd option is the most likely. Again, for upgrading, I'd just take the WAR bundle and add into an existing installation (unless explicitly advised not for a specific upgrade). You can always upgrade any of the components individually (OpenOffice, Tomcat, JBoss, JDK).

Cheers
Paul.

Indeed, I didn't activate the custom-repository-context.xml file… sorry to bother you with this. Thanks!
