How to recover a crashed upgrade?

wortmanb

I started to upgrade our Jira 7.2 installation to 7.8, and everything was going swimmingly until our /var partition filled up and the system crashed. When it came back up, I tried to initiate the upgrade again, but it all ends as follows:

Existing installation directory:
[/opt/atlassian/jira]

No directory found in specified location
Finishing installation...

#

So, my question is how to best proceed? Reinstall the tarball I made of that directory just before starting the (failed) upgrade, or is there a better approach?

Thanks!

Bret,

I would suggest to restore to the working 7.2 and then retry the upgrade.

So reinstall the tarball and restore the database.

Sounds good. I thought that might be an advisable approach. Go backward before trying to move forward again.

Laurens Coppens

Yeah, been there before, the chances of getting it working without the rollback are very low.

Experience teaches me you need to get it working again in the original condition before retrying the upgrade.

And making sure you have enough diskspace ;-)

wortmanb

Right. The diskspace was on me. Made additional manual backups to other devices so I could tell the installer to skip the home directory backup and now we seem to be cruising along nicely.

Thanks, Laurens.
