Trying to fix the issue with my Enterprise 8.4.6 (the wiki would crash every few hours or over night) by upgrading to Enterprise 8.4.6.jar file.
I launched the installer, installed in a different directory. Then replaced the following files with the old data: placed the .cfg, .properties, hibernate and the data folder over, started the shell, it launches with my old data intact. Everything looks functional except the admin panel is now empty. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
The Distribution Wizard never came up when I merged over the new install files. It simply just started the instance like normal when I logged in as Admin.
My steps were: (Using jetty/hsql)
Unpack .war file
Open Terminal
cd Downloads
jar -xvf xwiki-9.11.5.war
Replace static files
Applications/Xwiki Enterprise 7.2/webapps/xwiki/*
Copy over old configurations from 7.2 directory:
xwiki.cfg
xwiki.properties
web.xml
Start xwiki.sh
It seems that my mistake is not using the new configuration files to trigger the Distribution Wizard?
