Upgrading Crowd

Before your begin:

Please make sure you read the release notes for the version of Crowd you are upgrading to.
Please backup your Crowd data (see 5.4 Backing Up and Restoring Data) and backup your external database (if you have one).

Database Configuration

You will need to check if the crowd.xml in the conf/catalina/localhost/ directory is hooked up to a database. If it is, then you will need to modify the crowd.xml from the new archive to correspond to the previous one.

Do not forget to copy over any libs necessary for your JDBC connection. If you are using the in memory database (HSQL), you will need to copy over the contents of the database folder to the new archive download folder.

If you are not using the in-memory HSQL DB database, please make sure to also copy over the jdbc.properties file from the Crowd WEB-INF/classes folder to the new WEB-INF/classes folder.

The Crowd Administration Console

Copy the old jdbc.properties and crowd.properties files from the WEB-INF/classes folder to the new WEB-INF/classes folder. The application.password in this file is critical. If you do not do this the Crowd console will not work.
