[opencms-dev] Open CMS Upgrade to 8.0.2 - Issue

[Michael Emmerich]

Dawn,

> 	I have an application deployed in Jboss 5.1.0, MYSql database with Open CMS
> 7.5.2.
> In order to upgrade the application to CMS 8.0.2, I had copied the UPDATE
> folder and WEB-INF folder(in the opencms_upgrade_to_8.0.2.zip) to the
> applications root folder.
> The following are done,
> 1. Modified the existing opencms.properties file to have the value of
> wizard.enabled=true.

Ok, this is correct.

> 2. The index generation was disabled by removing the entries in
> cmsupdate.ori file, as was specified in the readme.txt file.

This will save a lot of time during the upgrade. However, you should not 
forget to rebuild the search indexed after the update is completed and 
the system is running again.

> 3. Deleted the occurrences of the entry
> "USERPREFERENCES_workplace-generaloptionsuploadapplet at
> java.lang.Boolean=false" (as mentioned in
> http://lists.opencms.org/pipermail/opencms-dev/2011q2/035708.html)

This is not required any more. It was a bug in the Updater of OpenCms 
8.0.0, and is fixed now.

It seems as if your system still accesses the "old" .jar files. The 
lucene search was updated to a newer version which result in some code 
changes in OpenCms.

So check if the old lucene .jar files in your /lib folder are 
overwritten by versions that have a file size of 334 bytes. Those are 
"empty" .jar files.

Best would be if you post a listing of your /lib folder here (ls -la) 
were the file sizes are shown.
