Error 404 after upgrading confluence from 5.2.3 to 6.2.1

SLS Einkauf June 6, 2017

Long term goal: migrate fom 5.2.3 on MS SQL Server to 6.2.1 on centos/postgresql.

My migration plan:

1. bring up test environment with 5.2.3 on internal db as http://localhost:8990 -> went fine
2. export site from production to xml
3. import site to test 5.2.3 on internal db and test on http://localhost:8990 -> went fine
4. upgrade test to 6.2.1 on internal db -> I'm stuck here
5. export site from test 6.2.1 -> to be done
6. import site to prod 6.2.1 on centos/postgresql -> to be done

On step 4, after upgrading my test environment from 5.2.3 to 6.2.1 (by running the installer and select upgrade existing installation), I get HTTP ERROR 404 on http://localhost:8090. Restarting service or entire machine does not help.

atlassian-confluence.log says (beside many more):

2017-06-06 22:15:23,423 ERROR [localhost-startStop-1] [atlassian.confluence.plugin.BandanaPluginStateStore] load Exception when loading plugins state from the database. Falling back to in memory state.

I assume something went wrong with internal database configuration/Upgrade. Any hints how to resolve this?

Hey Sandra,

Based on the amount of SQL errors on yours logs, I'd do the plan slightly different, since I believe that migrating from an external database to an internal database won't bring you good results. In order to provide root cause, ideally, you would need to create a ticket with support and attach a Support Zip, which contain more logs. As this is not a ticket, here is what I suggest you to do, since you are using test instances, which is great:

1. Create a Test Environment with CentOS/PostgreSQL.

2. Install Confluence 5.2.3 on this test environment.

3. Export Production site as XML.

4. Import the Production XML to the test environment.

5. Run all the needed tests to ensure that the new database/OS works fine.

6. Upgrade your test environment to Confluecne 6.x version.

7. If all is good, these are great news! Update your production environment to CentOS/PostgreSQL.

8. Install Confluence 6.x on Production as a fresh installation.

9. Take a XML Backup from your test 6.x Instance.

10. Import this XML Backup in Production.

This should work fine. Most than likely these errors are happening because when migrating to an External Database to Embedded Database, which is not an option on our documentation, the database connection properties from external database are overriding the internal database ones.

Hope this helps.

Hi Marcelo,

thank you very much for this in-depth answer :)

I will got that Path in  the next couple of weeks and report back if there were any new problems.
