How to upgrade when installed as Windows Service (automatic upgrade fails)

[Carl Pritchett]

Hi,

I have hudson 1.330 installed as a windows service.

When I click "upgrade automatically" to 1.386 (which is weird as the
latest is 1.387) is fails with the following:

java.io.IOException: Installation of plugin from
http://updates.hudson-labs.org/download/war/1.386/hudson.war is not
allowed
at hudson.model.UpdateCenter
$UpdateCenterConfiguration.preValidate(UpdateCenter.java:660)
at hudson.model.UpdateCenter$DownloadJob._run(UpdateCenter.java:923)
at hudson.model.UpdateCenter$DownloadJob.run(UpdateCenter.java:909)

at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(Unknown

at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

So how do I manually upgrade with installed as a service (with out
having to recreate me jobs etc)?

update hudson.war manually

There is no war - it is installed as a windows service. How would I
update manually? Do I explode the war over the top of the old
directory and drop the jobs directory and config back in?

Regards,
Carl.

All my installations use the *.war file as their base, even the windows
service installations. The war file is located in the directory which you
configured during the service installation. Just replace the *.war file
there and restart the service. It will be extracted automatically. Works
pretty nice and I've never spot any problems.

An I guess it does not work because your current version is too old? Because automatic update works fine for me using a service. I just have to restart the service myself once update is done in the UI.

This worked perfectly. Thank you all for your responses.
