Upgrade 11.0.2 to 11.0.3 fails.

[ScalixSupport]

Ok, not a problem, check the contents of file /var/opt/scalix/s4/tomcat/webapps/webmail/WEB-INF/version.properties, for me it is:

Code: Select all

release.type=
build.number=31
version.patch=3
version.minor=0
version.major=11

Correct your file to match this, restart scalix-tomcat and apache to check again. Hope this
helps.

Thanks,

Webmail now reads 11.0.3.31 ! WOOT !

OK the beer is on order, but the party is on hold

Sac still reads 11.0.2.23 ??!??

Undoing the 11.0.3 hardcoding in ubermanager.properties and res.properties has not changed anything - sac is still not there yet

Hi!

Lets try this, stop scalix-tomcat, delete the work folder at /var/opt/scalix/??/tomcat/ restart
scalix-tomcat and check again.

Hi,
In the mean time i have given the OS a reboot just in case.

I have stopped scalix-tomcat, removed the work folder, restarted scalix-tomcat and webmail is still ok, but sac is still stuck at 11.0.2.23.

Thanks again for all the help

Try clearing browser cache and cookies, see if this helps, also try in a different browser.

I have tried from a fresh (sic) internet explorer and no joy

I have however found three other files similar to /var/opt/scalix/sx/tomcat/webapps/webmail/WEB-INF/version.properties

and they are

Code: Select all

/var/opt/scalix/sx/tomcat/webapps/m/WEB-INF/classes/version.properties
/var/opt/scalix/sx/tomcat/webapps/api/WEB-INF/classes/version.properties
/var/opt/scalix/sx/tomcat/webapps/sis/WEB-INF/classes/version.properties

all are in the

Code: Select all

release.type=
build.number=23
version.patch=2
version.minor=0
version.major=11

format - should I update these as well ?

[ScalixSupport]

Yes do that please. Let restart scalix-tomcat once again.

Thanks,
Subir

[PedanticAss]

Ok, have updated the three files and done a tomcat & apache restart.

No joy

BUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Code: Select all

/var/opt/scalix/sx/tomcat/webapps/sac/js/Version.js

Code: Select all

VersionIDString=

replace as needed - restart tomcat and whoopie

ALL SYSTEMS REPORT OK

Virtual beer for all - thanks for the assist.

[PedanticAss]

OK so it now tells me that it is version 11.0.3.31 across the board and the server in sac agrees that these are the modules running.

Considering the files I've just had to edit - is there any other way of confirming that sac and webmail are in fact 11.0.3.31 ?

i.e. any "this wasn't here in 11.0.2.23" things I can look for ?

[ScalixSupport]

omvers is the command this should return the latest version, also login SAC, goto the
Server Info tab, click the Scalix Server hostname in left panel (first entry), choose the
General tab for the display box, you should find the versions for various Scalix Components
that are installed.

Have a great week end!

Thanks,
Subir

[PedanticAss]

Thanks and you too

I can see that they all now agree, what concerns me is that the final fix for sac was a manual edit of a js file that ?should? have been replaced in the upgrade.

If that file should have been replaced and was not - what else could be lurking waiting to trip me up ?

Or am I too paranoid ?

[PedanticAss]

Further info.

More worrying is that at the least :

/var/opt/scalix/sx/tomcat/webapps/api/WEB-INF/lib/scalix-api.jar

does not seem to have been upgraded.

(clean 11.0.3.31) file size 267196 bytes

(my "upgrade") file size 256853 bytes

Still looking ..................................

Hi PedanticAss!

Can you send me the result for command rpm -qa | grep scalix? As I can see the same
size when I do an upgrade or a fresh install. I have RHEL 4. Can you tell me what steps
you followed to upgrade the server?

Thanks,
Subir

I'm afraid I'm on an Ubuntu 6.06.1 lts base with 11.0.2.23 installed via a slightly modified script from

Code: Select all

http://www.scalix.com/wiki/index.php?title=Manual_Installation_Debian_Etch

As such I have no RPM's sorry.

To upgrade I thought I'd be clever - modified the script to use the new 11.0.3 and tested it on a separate new vm instance - it installed clean so I tried using it to install over the top of the 11.0.2.23.

Whilst all of the modules listed in sac show the correct version webmail and sac themselves were reporting the old 11.0.2.23.

I am now certain that this is MY FAULT.

Tweaking the version number files has cleared the visual aspect of my bodged upgrade, but leaves me with a sad and sorry hybrid.

For future reference is there any "proper" way to go about a version upgrade ?

The safest method and the one I am using to move my data from my "borg" to a clean 11.0.3 is by imap ?

Thanks for all the help with my self inflicted pain.
