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&nbsp;<Bamboo installation directory>&nbsp;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<span>&nbsp;</span><home-directory><span>&nbsp;</span>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<span>&nbsp;</span>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.
