Migration problem Alfresco 5.2 to 7.2

sz — Tue, 07 Jun 2022 08:20:30 GMT

Hi there,

I have some troubles with my migration from alfresco 5.2 local to alfresco 7.2 on docker.

I followed all the instructions in Angel Borroy video on youtube: Upgrading from Alfresco 5.2 to Alfresco 7.0
I copied all files to the new server and start rebuiling the containers with: docker-compose up --build --force-recreate

Overall it seems very good, but I noticed that some pages are missing.

I do not get "Errors" while recreating the containers, but i really often get this message:

alfresco_1 | 2022-06-07 09:47:50,430 WARN [transport.failover.FailoverTransport] [ActiveMQ Task-1] Failed to connect to [nio://activemq:61616] after: 40 attempt(s) with Connection refused, continuing to retry.

Is it normal, do I have to change the permissions on the the data/activemq-data folder? If yes to which?
I also tried to allow port:61616 on the local firewall and tried to completley disable it. No improvement.

I also think that the recreating process hangs in the loop during the migration. After 5 days i stopped it manually.

Do you have any advice?

Best, SZ

There could be many different problems according to your description.

alfresco_1 | 2022-06-07 09:47:50,430 WARN [transport.failover.FailoverTransport] 
[ActiveMQ Task-1] Failed to connect to [nio://activemq:61616] after: 40 attempt(s) with 
Connection refused, continuing to retry.

This one means that you haven't deployed activemq container or that it's not running at the moment.

Can you attach the output for docker ps command to verify what containers are live when experimenting problems?

It seems everything is working as expected, not sure why alfresco is not able to connect with activemq service.

Is it possible, that the permissions are not correct?
