To Whom it maybe concerned:

It's Wei Lin form ICBC (London), I have interested and successfully installed 7.5.4 product for server, but failed to restore from 5.1.1.

The error shown in the following:

org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Invocation of method 'isShowSignUp' in class com.atlassian.confluence.user.actions.LoginAction threw exception java.lang.NullPointerException: Application cannot be null at /login.vm[line 6, column 28]
at org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node.ASTMethod.handleInvocationException(ASTMethod.java:342)

caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Application cannot be null
at com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkNotNull(Preconditions.java:895)

I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

Best Regards

You won't be able to "restore from 5.1.1". If you've done it with the database, you've skipped the upgrade steps so the data is the wrong shape. If you did it with an xml import,it should have told you it can't do it because 5.1.1 is way too old and not compatible with 7.5.4.

Could you explain what you are trying to do end-to-end? An upgrade from 5.1.1?

Hi Nic,

Thank you very much for your replied. We are doing an server migration and would like to extract all files and space structure which saved in the old confluence server which has 5.1.1 version installed.

Hope you could help to find the good way to get those all files.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

Assuming the 7.5.4 system is empty, the easiest thing to do would be to install 5.1.1 on the target server and get it running ok, stop it, point it to the 5.1.1 database, copy the attachments directory from the old server to the new one, restart it to check everything is there, and then upgrade it to 7.5.4 using the standard upgrade docs.

Hi Nic.

Thanks for replied, But I have got the error after installed 5.1.4 (production version) which copied from old server:

com.atlassian.config.bootstrap.BootstrapException: Unable to bootstrap application: The database driver (org.h2.Driver) was not found in the class path.
This Confluence installation cannot be upgraded automatically. Please see Confluence documentation:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Database+Configuration
By the way, the 7.4.5 version which try to upgrading is trail version only.
So, I'm not sure what the best strategy which I could be used. Could I just manual copy the database which includes users and attached files?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards
