Upgrading to DotCMS 3.0.1 from 2.2 Failed on Windows.

[George Taku]

I am having a some difficulties with upgrading to dotCMS 3.0 from 2.2 on Windows.
to upgrade by using eclipse to build. After getting the advice to just follow the instructions provided on the dotCMS website for upgrading to 3.0, I have made a few attempts and the build continually failed.
Attempts to build with nothing added to the com.dotcms.config plugin for configuring clustering (just blank as it came with the download), and with configuration for manual clustering as well, all Failed. 

Has anyone encountered Failed build and how to go about resolving errors such as the ones I'll list here? No log file was produced in the tomcat log directory. I copied the error on the command line.

Here are the errors for the latest Failed build:

it looks like you are running the autoupgrader or something which is not what that doc references.

I abandoned efforts to build through Eclipse after getting advice to simply build using the instruction provided at http://dotcms.com/docs/latest/upgrading-to-dotcms-3. I have since been having Failed builds with the instructions provided there. Help please.

what do you mean failing builds. If you download the ZIP from our website there is nothing to build.  Unless you mean your plugins are failing to deploy (build) in which case you need to update your plugins and or better yet upgrade first and then update and deploy them

--

[George Taku]

LORDs_diakonos - Yes, I downloaded the zip from the dotCMS website. Yes, I mean that .\bin\deploy-plugin.bat failed. My attempts have been with our plugins added. In which case, it's our plugins that are failing to deploy like you wrote. How do I get a log file to see which of our plugins I need to update? Thanks.

[Jason Tesser]

i would drop one and deploy. and then another. You should have a log in the console where you execute the command but dropping one at a time should help.  

Keep in mind in 3.x we repackage every 3rd party lib so if you reference any of them maybe that is your issue 

Though looking at the original log it looks like your have an issue reading the disk

[plugin-deploy-task] java.util.zip.ZipException: error reading zip file

not sure what this is for you. 

[George Taku]

Jason Tesser-
I have completely removed our plugins and got the same errors. Like you just mentioned, I then suspected that it could be read/write permissions on the path where I unpacked the 3.0. I am now attempting on to move and redeploy a path that is excluded from required specific extra read/write permissions for the purpose of test. I will update here soon.
Thanks.

[Jason Tesser]

ok maybe just a permission issue.  Seems like something like that 

[George Taku]

Yes. There was a permissions issue. After moving the unpacked 3.0, copying the assets and configuring the server and context as directed in the instructions, I was able to get success in the build. However, when I start, there is a blink flash of the command line as though a new window was to pop up and then returns to the command line with a confirmation of successfully starting or not. Of course when I go to the browser and type in http://localhost:8080 an "Unable to connect."
What could possible be wrong?

Without a conformation of success or failure starting, I meant to write.

[Jason Tesser]

maybe your server.xml is not on 8080.

did you start the tomcat

Main: 305-900-2001 | Direct: 305.209.8104

jason....@dotcms.com | dotcms.com

[Jason Tesser]

look under the logs directory of tomcat or the logs directory under dotsecure

[George Taku]

Thanks, Jason.
I configured my server.xml on port 8080, I have verified that as well. Also, no log was produced in the log directory in tomcat, and there is no dotsecure directory in the 3.x that I can see unlike there was in the earlier version. What could be wrong?

[Jason Tesser]

not sure you must be missing something and of course tomcat has a logs directory. 

You should see it here 

C:\Java\dotcms3_0_1\bin\..\dotserver\tomcat-7.0.54

the dotsecure would be at C:\Java\dotcms3_0_1\bin\..\dotserver\tomcat-7.0.54/webapps/ROOT

[George Taku]

That's where I looked.
See screenshots:



What am I not doing correctly?
Thanks, Jason.

[Jason Tesser]

I do not know and don't see the screenshots. 

Maybe ensure you are starting as admin.  Maybe that is hurting you.  Not sure. 

[George Taku]

Sorry about that, Jason. It appears that pasting the screenshots did not carry through as seen from my end. Yes, tomcat has a log directory, which I could see, but no log file was created there after I started dotcms. I however do not see any dotsecure directory. Let me try to insert the screenshots again.

no idea from here.  If you have support maybe contact the helpdesk and they can get on the machine and see. 

It should work. Maybe still a permission issue.  

[George Taku]

Okay, thanks.
