Upgrade 2.1.0 (R1) to 2.1.0 Community

[chemeddl]

I am trying to upgrade from the R1 to the final version of Community 2.1.0. When I go through the upgrade process and then check the version as given in the System Information of the Administration Console, it still lists v2.1.0 (R1).

I am not seeing anything in the logs that indicates an upgrade.

Is there some other way to determine whether my upgrade has been successful?

Should I try to do an export, new install, import in order to get to the 2.1.0 final version?

So you have overwritten the alfresco.war file with the new one?

On the console when the server starts it outputs the original installed version and also the upgraded-to version.

No you do not need to export/import.

Thanks for the reply, Kevin.

Yes, I have overwritten the alfresco.war file at tomcat/webapps from a complete tomcat install of the 2.1.0 (R1) release (alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0R1.tar.gz dated 6-29-07) with the alfresco.war file from the current 2.1.0 (final) release from the alfresco-community-war-2.1.0.tar.gz dated 7/24/07 download at sourceforge.

The console line that indicates the version reads

15:46:36,204 INFO  [org.alfresco.service.descriptor.DescriptorService] Alfresco started (Community Network): Current version 2.1.0 (R1 443) schema 62 - Installed version 2.1.0 (R1 443) schema 62

Other possible pertinent messages from the console read
15:46:33,466 INFO  [org.alfresco.repo.domain.schema.SchemaBootstrap] No changes were made to the schema.
15:46:36,026 INFO  [org.alfresco.repo.admin.patch.PatchExecuter] Checking for patches to apply …
15:46:36,097 INFO  [org.alfresco.repo.module.ModuleServiceImpl] Found 0 module(s).

I have made sure that the custom-repository.properties file in the extensions has the line
db.schema.update=true

I have also deleted all the temporary tomcat files before restarting tomcat after updating the .war file.

Are there other steps I should take in order to get to be running 2.1.0 final?

Have you deleted the expanded /webapps/alfresco folder in tomcat? Otherwise Tomcat will not expand the new war (it does not detect that it needs too if the /alfresco folder is still present).

Thanks,

Kevin

You have diagnosed a Tomcat newbie mistake. Deleting the tomcat/webapps/alfresco directory contents allowed the update to occur. All messages indicate that we are now running 2.1 community final . Thanks, Kevin.

No problem! Excellent.

Could you please tell me how you setup alfresco 2.1.0 war on linux.

I am running debian etch and have installed tomcat5.5 and java JDK. I have also coppied the .war file to the java webapps folder in the directory

/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps

The folder automatically expanded but when i try to login on:

http://localhost:8180/alfresco I only see a message indicating that the requested source /alfresco/ is not available

Thank you and I hope that I am not being to stupid

Have you performed the instructions in the README? Such as installing MySQL and also the JDBC driver?
