Openolat upgrade problems

[Piotr Sz]

Hello, i'd be gratefull for any help

Im trying to upgrade Openolat 17.0.2 to latest 17.2.11

My environment is:

-Debian 11
i have no user openolat, just user tomcat (without bash)  

Tomcat 9 directory is /opt/tomcat
Java 11 direcotry is /usr/lib/jvm
Openolat directory is /opt/tomcat/webapps/
Olat data directory is /opt/olatdata

When im following update instructions i got 404 error , obviously paths are wrong

What should i do ?

i tried tomcat 10, lower version of olat, no luck 

Please help :)

Hello,

it seems, it is looking for OpenOlat below
/opt/tomcat-9.0.65_v17/webapps/ and not /opt/tomcat/webapps/
(CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME both point there).

Please check your paths and your configuration files.

Of course it is always best to follow the installation manual which can
be found here:
https://docs.openolat.org/manual_admin/installation/installGuide/

Best Regards
Oliver

[Piotr Sz]

thank you for answer, 

/opt/tomcat is a symlink to  /opt/tomcat-9.0.65_v17/ 

what other paths should i check ? 

i wish i could install it proper way, with user, symlinks and everything in one folder 

[Oliver Kant]

Hello,

can you please show us your anonymized ROOT.xml (no Passwords,
Usernames..)? Maybe that can help.

You can always try to make a new install of OpenOlat using the
Installation Guide. It uses one user (openolat or whatever you name it)
and one folder.

Best Regards
Oliver

ROOT.xml ?  do you mean server.xml in tomcat or something else ? 

actually i did make new fresh install and it works great with that symlinks and user, is it posiible to migrate data from old Olat to new fresh one ? (like copy olatdata dir and import postgres dumped db) 

[Oliver Kant]

It is basically the webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml moved to
%CATALINA_BASE%/conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml with a couple of
changes as to where the docBase is and several other things.

This way, the file is more upgrade-friendly as it resides outside of
anything that might change (tomcat, OpenOlat..) when upgrading.

When you just made a new install nex to the old one, the file might be
interesting to you after all, since you can change the db settings to
use your already existing values. And you can of course copy all your
files to the actual olatdata folder, but please make sure (db and files)
that your user has sufficient rights to access, alter everything.

Oliver

[Piotr Sz]

hi Oliver,

unfortunately i dont have anything like that

no manager in webapps, only ROOT, but there is no such thing as context.xml, inm webapps/ROOT/META-INF/maven/org.openolat/openolat-lms i have pom.xml and pom.properities

My %CATALINA_BASE%/conf/Catalina/localhost/ is empty

there is context.xml in %CATALINA_BASE%/conf/Catalina/localhost/ , but there are no any credentials info

context.xml in %CATALINA_BASE%/conf/Catalina/localhost/:
<Context>
        <Resources allowLinking="true" />
        <Resources cachingAllowed="true" />
        <Resources cacheMaxSize="1024000" />
 <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
    <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/tomcat-web.xml</WatchedResource>
    <WatchedResource>${catalina.base}/conf/web.xml</WatchedResource>
<Manager pathname="" />
</Context>


One file with credentials to postgres is in %CATALINA_BASE%/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes, its olat.local.properties (i grepped everything, only that file has password and username)

Well, i think im gonna try new instance on that server with a instalation guide.
its 600GB olatdata, so i hope its gonna work

thanks for help

You need Tomcat 10.1 and Java 17. See Installation guide.
