Subject: [grouper-users] upgrading to 2.4

 

(1) I am trying to upgrade from version 2.3 to version 2.4. The Grouper upgrader wants to upgrade in place (not into a new directory) so do I need to rename the directory after the upgrade is complete? The current directory name is

/var/grouper/installGrouper2.3

 

and I think the new name should be

/var/grouper/installGrouper2.4

 

 

(2) I get an error during the upgrade process. My server is on a secure network so it can't download patch files from the internet. I downloaded the tar file which contains all patches

http://software.internet2.edu/grouper/release/2.4.0/grouper.all-2.4.0.tar.gz

 

I uncompressed and extracted the contents to this directory

/var/grouper/grouper.all-2.4.0

 

I created a properties file that points to the new directory

 

$ cat /var/grouper/installGrouper2.3/grouper.installer.properties 

download.server.url = /var/grouper/grouper.all-2.4.0

 

1. default version to install

grouper.version = 2.4.0

 

I ran the installer with the "upgrade" option but it gets an error when it tries to access one of the 2.3 patch files. It's looking for a 2.3 patch file in the 2.4 directory that was recently downloaded.

Gather upgrade information

 

Enter in a Grouper temp directory to download tarballs (note: better if no spaces or special chars) [/var/grouper/installGrouper2.3/tarballs]: /tmp/grouper/patches

You need to revert all patches to upgrade
