I just updated my wiki to 10.8 from 10.6 and I get the following error when I try to access the wiki:

XWiki initialization failed!

Does anyone have any idea how I can debug and solve this problem?

Thanks.

Hi @pdwalker

It seems like a problem when you upgraded the WAR since this seems to indicate the oldcore JAR in WEB-INF/lib is not the correct one. Could you check?

EDIT: either the xwiki-*-oldcore.jar JAR or some xwiki-*-wiki-*.jar one

Hmm… I think that may be it. Let me remove the 10.2.1.* version and try again.

And that seems to have solved the problem.

The weird versioned jar file was one given to me (by you, I believe) as a quick fix to an earlier memory leak problem, which I had then forgotten about.

Well spotted, and thanks for the fast help.
