Linux to Linux Migration/Upgrade

[cbox]

Hi There;

I have been trying for about a week to get a Alfresco Migration + Upgrade to occur. I am using CentOS 6.4 with MySQL, everything was setup correct (installed vanilla alfresco, copied over alf_data, coped in the mysql connector and copied over the extensions directory and altered the alfresco-global.properties file) then tried to start up the alfresco service and got an error:

HTTP Status 404 - /alfresco/faces/jsp/dashboards/container.jsp

message: /alfresco/faces/jsp/dashboards/container.jsp
description: The requested resource is not available.

Here is a dump of the error in the alfresco.log file

I suspect it is related to the repository but do not know where to start looking to correct the issue.

Hello,

what version did you upgrade from and to? This is a rather low-level, technical issue suggesting a technical incompatibility of property data contained in your database (from the old version) with some data model change in the new version.
