Update Jira 5.1.6 to new Jira 5.2 but at the first startup it behaves like a new empty installation

Question

Hi erverbody,

i have a Jira 5.1.6 Installation that running on a mysql DB.

I updated it to the new 5.2 Version, but after the first startup it behaves like a new installation and ask me about my language and if it should run on the internal or an external database.

I have tried a update to 5.1.8 but there is the same behavior...

Can anybody help me with this?

Has anyone any idea on this issue?

i have checked the files, before the update all files are ok but after the upgrade it seems the update delete the complett jira directory inclusive the dbconfig.xml and the attachments directory.

That would explain why it behaves like a complett new installation.

But that can not be intention of an update or?

Did you reindex? All of my issues were missing until I reindexed.
