Upgrading from 7.15 to 7.19 fails

[Marco Vici]

Hello, after the upgrade Confluence can no longer start properly.

The installation was successfull. I also applied the files listed in 7.15.0-modifications.txt.

The following provides a list of file modifications within the confluence directory.

Modified files: 
(none)
Removed files:
(none)
Added files:
confluence\WEB-INF\classes\log4j-diagnostic.properties
confluence\WEB-INF\lib\mysql-connector-java-5.1.49-bin.jar
confluence\WEB-INF\lib\mysql-connector-java-5.1.49.jar

I copied them from the backup of the home dir.

After starting the service it is not possible to stop it. I have to kill it.

Hi @Marco Vici 

There are a couple of errors I see in the logs you have shared.

1. Communication link failure error

Caused by: com.zaxxer.hikari.pool.HikariPool$PoolInitializationException: Failed to initialize pool: Communications link failure

The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.

Caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure

For this, please follow the resolution mentioned under the below KB. Basically, you will need to do some changes in the confluence.cfg.xl file.

•  https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-is-not-starting-with-mysql-and-confluence-java-11-1064089758.html

2. Recovery file generation error

at com.atlassian.confluence.upgrade.recovery.DefaultRecoveryFileGenerator.lambda$generate$0(DefaultRecoveryFileGenerator.java:80)

For this, please follow the below KB to disable the recovery file generation during the upgrade. If you are taking database backup prior to the upgrade, then this step is not needed. You can disable it from the setenv.sh file.

• https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-disable-upgrade-recovery-file-generation-in-confluence-1047534410.html

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Hi Aamir,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I dealt with the links you provided but unfortunately they didn't solve the problem.

Googling again I came across a suggestion about increasing the Java memory pool size. I actually had such a kind of error in previous attempts, but not in the log I posted, that was the last attempt.

Anyway I wanted to try and unexpectdly it soleved my problem. I followed this guide:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-fix-out-of-memory-errors-by-increasing-available-memory-154071.html 

I hope this can help someone else with the same problem.

Thanks again,

Marco
