Upgrading from 7.13.5 to 8.5 with a postgres database but not finding a dbconfig.xml file...

Eric Sebian

Good morning.

I'm using the postgres database for my jira instance and I am trying to do a new install (from 7.13 to 8.5) but the application that I downloaded is missing a dbconfig.xml file. Is that something I should just move over from the existing production instance? Below is a copy of the file.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 

<jira-database-config>

  <name>defaultDS</name>

  <delegator-name>default</delegator-name>

  <database-type>postgres72</database-type>

  <schema-name>public</schema-name>

    <url>jdbc:postgresql://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</url>

    <pool-remove-abandoned-timeout>300</pool-remove-abandoned-timeout>

    <pool-test-on-borrow>false</pool-test-on-borrow>

    <pool-test-while-idle>true</pool-test-while-idle>

  </jdbc-datasource>

</jira-database-config>

 

Please advise.

The dbconfig file is created when you run through the installer and answer the questions about hooking it up to a database.

Do NOT just copy it from an existing installation, that file is only suitable for that installation.
