Hello, I have to upgrade Alfresco 3.2r to Alfresco 3.4d for a customer company. They have their Alfresco 3.2r running into a virtual machine with windows server 2008 (using 2GB RAM). First of all, I asked them a test enviornemnt (so a snapshot of production environment), and I started to work. After fighting one day, I did the upgrade in the test envoirment following the general upgrade process, but it only worked doing the next:
1)shut down alfresco 3.2r 2)install new alfresco 3.4d 3)make changes to alfresco 3.4d, and check that it works 4)copy the alf_data from 3.2r to 3.4d 5)recover the database from 3.2r to 3.4d (mysqldump) 6)first, in repository.properties —-> index.recovery=AUTO (without deletinc lucene-indexes) 7)start the new alfresco and check that it doesn't work proprely, so shut down again 8)delete lucene-indexes, and in repository.properties —-> index.recovery=FULL 9)startup —> perfect 10)after that, in repository.properties —>index.recovery=VALIDATE
This was the process that worked properly, and perfect. I still don't why I should do the step #6, instead of step #8 directly, but with this sequence it worked (I checked many times). Ok, perfect.
The problem is that yesterday, thinking I was ready to make the upgrade in production environment, it didn't work. The same sequence throw me an error of
The only difference between test and production environment is: TEST: disk space —-> used: 18,1GB, free: 11,8GB PRODUCTION: disc space —-> used: 38,8GB, free: 1,15GB (in this unit I have my new (defective) alfresco 3.4, and my old alfresco 3.2r)
Could the disc space be the cause of the problem?? Any ideas??? it's urgent
when I modifyied my Alfresco before the upgrade, I changed all the Messages folder, so that was the problem. After your advice I tried to upgrade with the old Message folder, and it worked. So now I can change it again.
