[Geoserver-users] Geoserver upgrade

Hi is there any special steps to upgrade from 2.1.3 to 2.2.2 on a windows server. We attempted it last night but could not get geoserver to restart. Plenty of loggs where generated but to be honest they do not mean much to us. In the end we had to role back the server.

Does the data dir contain all that is needed to transfer settings from one geoserver install to another?

Cheers in advance.

David,

nononono not everything at once. Not on a production machine. Please do the
following:

install the war file as is, check WMS/WFS/etc. check log files, then stop.

add all the add-ons: database, WPS, raster formats whatever you need, start,
read the log files, check the services, then stop again. I there are
problems repeat it one by one.

Create a database connection to your main database by hand, publish a layer,
check it with 'preview', if everything works delete both, then stop.

*Only as a last step*
Change over to your data directory (web.xml, container var, java var or
system var ).

Did your first attempt actually work on the data directory intended, i.e.
the one you thought it would work on?

Cheers

Christian
