Bamboo upgradation not allowing to DATABASE configuration.

[Devendar Gangapuram]

Hi team,

DB configuration page that states "Database contains existing data.". It will not let me proceed and I do not want to overwrite my database, I want to keep my existing Bamboo DB.

 I am following instructions as per the link below: 

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/bamboo-upgrade-guide-720411366.html 

1) Download Bamboo

Download the file for your operating system - https://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/download

• tar.gz for MacOS or Linux distributions.
• zip for Windows.

Create the installation directory

a) Extract the downloaded file to an install location.

b) The path to the extracted directory is referred to as the <Bamboo installation directory> in these instructions.

3. Configure the new Bamboo instance

Set the home directory for the new Bamboo instance

 Set the <home-directory> to use the <home-directory> of the original Bamboo instance:

1. Go to the new Bamboo instance <bamboo-install> directory. It is the directory where you installed Bamboo.

2. Open atlassian-bamboo/WEB-INF/classes/bamboo-init.properties 

3. Set the bamboo.home variable to use the <bamboo-home> path of the original Bamboo instance.

I have done proper changes in bamboo-init.properties and bamboo.cfg.xml files but still I am getting this error. Please help me in resolving this issue.

You're not running an upgrade there, you have run a new installation of your system.

Thank you @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-,

It worked after, following other way of upgradation. 

Downloaded latest version of Bamboo 8.0 and checked "update existing installation " option.
