Upgrade rc1 to rc2: no media

[Olivier <wi...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I have Roller running on Glassfish 3.0.1. I tried upgrading Roller 5 rc1 to
rc2. That almost went fine, i.e., all references to media are empty. That
means all images in my blog are gone. There were no errors or warnings in
the log files when starting up.
Any ideas, anyone?

Rgrds, Olivier

  ... Except for links to tags. E.g., a url to <url to roller>tags/news 
leads to a 404 :-(
Please keep up the good work :-)

Rgrds, Olivier

  That pointed me in the right direction. I used another context root 
for testing rc2, therefor the url to the images didn't work. I resolved 
it and it's now working fine.
Thanks for your help, Dave.

Weird, it's working on my site. I think it may be a URL calculation
problem and perhaps you can help me to debug it.

If possible, would you try RC2 again, go to the Media Resources page
and use right click to get the URL of one of the thumbnail images
there? Also, click on an image to get it's Dialog box then click on
the image there to load the full-size image, use right-click again to
get the URL of the full size image?

  I see my resources in the Media File manager, but they are empty, the 
images are not there. There are no errors or warnings in the logs files.
I got everything back when I rolled back to 5rc1.

You should not have to migrate again. Do you see resources in the
Media File manager interface? Anything in the logs indicating problems
with media resources?

Migration was already done when upgrading from 4.0.1 to 5.0rc1, I did/have
set the properties you mention. Everything seemed fine then. Should I
migrate again? Where are the mediafiles I uploaded since my first migration?

Re: Upgrade rc1 to rc2: no media

That's probably due to a problem when migrating your media files from
the old "uploads dir" to the new "mediafile storage dir" system.
That's covered in Section 10 of the install guide: Upgrading Roller.
Make sure you set these setting in your Roller config.

   # The directory in which Roller will upload files
   mediafiles.storage.dir=${user.home}/roller_data/mediafiles

   # The directory in which Roller will upload files
   uploads.dir=${user.home}/roller_data/uploads

Set those and restart Roller and it will do the migration for you.

When the migration is complete you should find a file named
'migration-status.properties' in your old uploads directory.

Hope that helps...

Thanks,
Dave
