Hi
Ahh it is great to see you are still willing to help! I was wondering about asking the website mailing-list if anyone there might be able to help until we got your message. David is a bit snowed-under but hopefully might be able to spare some time to help get you in.
Many thanks and regards from
Tom
Thank you Tom for your message!
I have to spent time on try a vanilla upgrade of Alfresco, but I have
found in the official wiki of Alfresco that the Community version has
an issue about upgrade from 3.4 to 4.0b [1]:
"Upgrades from a pre Alfresco 4.0 will not work correctly as the
avmToAdmRemoteStore patch will not be run. The workaround is to
upgrade first to 4.0.a or apply patch "patch-ALF-11029-context.xml" by
dropping patch file into <tomcat>/shared/classes/alfresco/extension
BEFORE upgrade. The patch can found attached to Jira ticket ALF-11029.
If you have already upgraded to 4.0.b then some of the user site
preferences would have been reset.This issue has been fixed in nightly
build, so a nightly build can also be used instead, please visit
http://dev.alfresco.com/downloads/nightly/dist/ for latest nightly
build."
This means that before upgrading to 4.0b it is necessary to upgrade
from the latest version of 3.4 (3.4.e) directly to 4.0a, then 4.0b,
then 4.0c. Otherwise the migration process will fail corrupting the
repository.
Hope this helps
I'll wait news about my credentials to contribute on your installation.
Cheers,
Piergiorgio
