Confluence Migration Problem

Question

I tried to upgrade our existing confluence 4.1.6 version manually to confluence 5.4.2.

I followed the steps mentioned in the atlassian documentation but I dont know where I am doing wrong but the migration is not kicking..

Below steps I followed.

* I have downloaded the confluence bundle
* configured the confluence-home in confluence-init.properties file
* configured production database snapshot in server.xml file
* copied atlassian-user.xml file and osusers.xml file to classes folder from existing production installation
* started confluence.

There are no errors in the log file but it is just connected to HSQL db but not to existing database.

Hi Srinivas,

How did you overcome this problem? I am trying to migrate Confluence from one server to another. I took a MySQL dump of existing db and restored it on my new DB Server. When I try configuring the DB from Confluence Setup Wizard, I get the same message as you got!

After all, we need all that data right? Why is it prompting an option to overwrite the existing data?

Would someone please help me overcome this problem so that I can go-ahead and complete the setup of my application.
