Dragon Slaying - Should I stick to Confluence 3.5.7 or take the latest Confluence 3.5 version?

AmosA

The instructions in Dragon Slaying Stage 3 Step 2 say that I should use Confluence 3.5.7 (released June 22, 2011). The latest available Confluence 3.5 version is 3.5.13 (released September 1, 2011). Should I stick to 3.5.7 or should I use 3.5.13, which I guess only adds stability?

There shouldn't be any problems using 3.5.13 instead.

There shouldn't be any problems using 3.5.13 instead.

In case you want to go for the latest and greatest I did Dragon Slayer with 4.1 (just for fun) and can confirm it all works and didn't have to deviate from the instructions.

Thanks for the answers. 3.5.7 config blows up on not being able to create the tables in the database. I might wipe it all and try 4.1

Andrew Frayling

What error did you get with creating tables? When the install falls over at table creation it's normally due to one of:

Database doesn't exist
DB exists, but isn't empty
Wrong username/password
Insufficient privileges for the DB user
Typo in the JDBC URL
Connection problem between server and DB (if they're on different machines)

I didn't keep the error message's details but it just said that it can't find the tables inside. Maybe it though that it managed to create them in a previous run (which is marked in a local text file).

Database already exists and with right access permissions for that user
Database was empty
Username/password were verified using "psql".
Double-checked privileges for that user (it's the database owner and was able to add roles and tables as instructed)
URL was verifies
Database was on same host.

All of these were verified with psql.

I dropped and re-created the database but it didn't help.

I eventually dug up and installed JDK 1.6 (6?) instead of 7 and it started working (1.6 takes a little bit of digging in order to find on Oracle's web site).

I was later told that I should actually use 1.6 for everything since this is what all Atlassian products require.

The instructions in http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ATLAS/Dragons+Stage+1+-+Install+JIRA#DragonsStage1-InstallJIRA-Step1InstallJava clearly say "Oracle JDK 1.6 or higher", which I interpreted to include JDK 7, I was now told that it was supposed to mean "1.6.x for any x".

Thanks everyone for your responses.

Ah, I think that documentation was written pre Java 7. I'll see if I can get it updated.
