Upgraded to 2.2.2 but GUI still shows 2.2.0

Old Versions
#1

Hello.

I've downloaded the new version 2.2.2 and installed but the web GUI still shows 2.2.0. I did the following.

Stopped Tomcat

Deleted cmdbuild.war and shark.war

Copied the new cmdbuild 2.2.2 & shark 2.2.2 WAR files to the same location (/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/)

Renamed them to cmdbuild.war and shark.war

Started Tomcat.

Checked I can access the application and log in (success)

 

That should have worked right?? What am I missing? Do I have the updated version but the GUI is reporting it incorrectly? How can I tell that I have 2.2.2?

I rebooted the server as well but same problem.

Thanks!

Dear Angus,
 
did you try to delete browser's cache?
 
Best regards.

Hello Angus,
 
You need to delete old cmdbuild and shark folder in tomcat webapps folder. And also cmdbuild and shark folder in tomcat work folder.

Hello and thanks for taking the time to reply.
 
Yes, I did clear the browser cache and still the same. Before I perform the steps again I just need to confirm that the procedure I did was the correct method. I'm pretty sure I did it exactly the same way last update.
 
Are there any other files that should be deleted so they are re-created by the new WAR files?
 
Thanks!

Dear Angus,
 
please take a look at one of the files contained within directory
 
{CMDBUILD_WEBAPP}/translations
 
the second entry should be an attribute with name "release", what's the value? We've checked released war and it's
 
"release": "2.2.2 (17/11/2014)",
 
Best regards.

Hello all and thanks for the suggestions.
 
I have resolved the problem by deleting the "cmdbuild" and "shark" folders from the Tomcat webapps folder after saving the config files.
 
Can I suggest that when releasing a new version that you change the "install.txt" file so that it contains this information. All you have right now is "Copy cmdbuild-{version}.war in the Tomcat "webapps" directory, renaming it to cmdbuild.war"
 
The upgrade doesn't work if you only do what your install.txt file says.
 
You need to include:
  • Backup config files
  • Stop Tomcat
  • Delete tomcat/webapps/cmdbuild/
  • Copy new WAR file
  • Start Tomcat
  • Run initial config and point to existing database
  • Apply old config to new config files
  • Reboot server
 
This additional detail would assist a lot of users and wouldn't take too much effort to include.
 
Cheers!
