Upgrading from NxFilter 3.3.4 to 4.3.2.1

[Kole Perkins]

I am attempting to upgrade NxFilter on Linux from version 3.3.4 to 4.3.2.1. I was able to successfully overwrite the files in the /nxfilter directory with the new files, but am having trouble when starting NxFilter. We were previously using Shallalist and will be using Jahaslist in the future, so I had to change the blacklist_type field in /nxfilter/conf/cfg.properties from 1 to 5. When I try to start NxFilter now, I get the following errors:

[root@GES-NXFILTER1 bin]# ./startup.sh

 INFO [08-23 14:54:29] - ShutdownHook.run, Shutting down on 2018/08/23 14:54:29.

I copied the files from the /nxfilter/db folder to another location for a backup and then deleted the files in /nxfilter/db. After doing that, NxFilter start correctly. We have a lot of configuration in NxFilter, so I would like to avoid having to reconfigure everything again.

I suspect that my config database is having issues being upgraded since there is a large version change. Would it be possible for me to do incremental upgrades or some other solution to retain my configuration? Is there are repository for the archive NxFilter installs?

Thanks for any help!

You probably have some trace file in /nxfilter/db. Send them to us with your config DB backup. support @ nxfilter.org. If it's too big then upload it somewhere and send us a link. We will fix it for you.

I have emailed the requested files. Thank you!

Your config db is actually fine. It's from another db. Try this one,

If you need an exe setup file,
