Upgrade Confluence from 5.9.7 to 6.8.0

jafamo

Hello, I want to upgrade my Confluence version 5.9.7 to 6.8.0 and I want to know if I can do it without upgrade with interval versions.

Any one know if I can upgrade directly to this version?

When i am trying to update, I don't have any error in my console, but when i am running confluence I have this error:

This installation of Confluence has failed one or more bootstrap configuration checks. Please check the logs for details.

MyISAM is configured as the default storage engine in your database, which may result in data integrity issues. Please see http://confluence.atlassian.com/x/voTcDQ for more information.

I followed the link : http://confluence.atlassian.com/x/voTcDQ but that not resolved it my issue.

Thank you.

Hi Javier,

Per our doc, Upgrading Confluence, if you are running 5.0 or above you may upgrade directly to the latest version of Confluence 6.

I understand you followed the guide: Convert from MySQL MyISAM to InnoDB Storage Engine but the upgrade still failed. Does the error message still indicate that the default storage engine is still MyISAM after running through the steps to convert to InnoDB? Or is there a different error now?

Thanks,

Ann

Hi Ann,
I updated the confluence with .bin installer when the Storage Engine was MyISAM and I tried to convert tables to InnoDB, It's not working . I recover a snapshot and I will try again a new installation
I cannot change ENGINE to InnoDB because I have more applications running in this server.

What do you recommend to do in a a new installation?

Do you know if I need to change Engine of my db confluence first ?

Many thanks ,

Javier.

For a new installation we have a setup doc:

2. Configure MySQL Server

It includes the InnoDB requirement:

Choose Transactional Database Only to ensure that your MySQL database will use InnoDB as its default storage engine.You must use the InnoDB storage engine with Confluence. Using the MyISAM storage engine can lead to data corruption in Confluence.
Set the InnoDB Tablespace settings to your requirements. (The default settings are acceptable.)

Would it be feasible to spin up a local version of MySQL or a new MySQL server with InnoDB storage engine? That way the other applications would not be impacted.
