Upgrading from JForum version 2.0.2 to version 2.1 is quite simple. First, make a backup of the database and the current directoy where JForum is installed. Backup everything (templates, images etc). The suggested approach to use is to unpack JForum 2.1 into some directory, made the changes there and then, when all is finished, copy it over the directory where JForum 2.0.2 is located.
Now follow these steps, in the order they're shown:

:arrow: New configuration options
The file WEB-INF/config/SystemGlobals.properties has some new keys. To make the task easier, you should update the new file instead of trying to change the current (from 2.0.2). Compare both files and look for differences, updating the keys as necessary. Note that if your current version of SystemGlobals does not have some of the keys present in version 2.1, just leave with the defaults.

Important: You should not forget to change the value of the key "installation.config" to "${config.dir}/jforum-custom.conf".

Open jforum-custom.conf. If there is a key named "database.connection.string", remove it.

Good programs to help finding differences are WinMerge - http://winmerge.sf.net -, for the Windows Plataform, and diff, for Unix like machines. Good candidates for updating are "user.hash.sequence", "database.driver.name" and the mail settings.

:arrow: Database settings
Open the file WEB-INF/config/<dbname>/<dbname>.properties and check the username, password and host to connect. If you're going to use MySQL 4.1 or more recent, please set the value of the keys mysql.encoding and mysql.unicode to empty, as shown below:



Just make sure that there isn't any blank space after the "=" signal.

Also for MySQL 4.1+ users, go to WEB-INF/config/database/mysql and rename the file "mysql_41.sql" to "mysql.sql" (delete the existing mysql.sql file, which does not work for MySQL 4.1+)

:arrow: Renaming files
Next, go to WEB-INF/config and rename the file "<username>.conf" - where "<username" is the login account which is running the webserver, like "root.conf", "somehost.conf", "blah.con" etc - to "jforum-custom.conf". >Dont't forget this step. If the <username>.conf file does not exist, then ignore.

:arrow: Checking jforum-custom.conf
Now, open jforum-custom.conf and make sure that the configuration options are as expected. It may sound like an unnecessary step, since your forum is working already, but even that, just to be sure that none of the keys you changes in SystemGlobals.properties are being overwritten by this file.

Also in this file, search for a key named "database.connection.string". If you find, remove it.

:arrow: Upgrading the database
Now, import the SQL file named "<database>_2.0.2_to_2.1.sql" (like "mysql_2.0.2_to_2.1.sql") to your database. This script will convert the tables and create the new ones.

:arrow: About permissions
The security model in JForum 2.1 changed a little bit, so much probably you'll have to re-save the permissions from all groups again. The step is simple: just to to the Admin Control Panel -> Groups -> Permissions, check the options and then click "Save".

:arrow: Removing installation files
Now, do this:

  • rename the file "new_rename.htm" to "index.htm" (you can remove the existing index.htm)
  • delete the directory "install"
  • Open SystemGlobals.properties and add the following line:



  • Open WEB-INF/config/modulesMapping.properties and remove from it the following line:



    :arrow: Testing
    Now, if possible, test JForum 2.1 before copying it over 2.0.2. The easier way is to put it under some another Context. If the system started without problems, then you can proceed to the final step. As mentioned in the previous section, you may experience some issues with access rights. If the user you use in JForum 2.0.2 does for the administrative tasks does not have access to the control panel in JForum 2.1, please do this:

  • Find the user id of your user by executing the query



  • Go to your database console (or any administration tool use may use) and run the following SQL query:



    and then restart the servlet container.

    :arrow: Final Step
    Before copying the new files over the old ones, remove the following files from the directory WEB-INF/lib: "commons-fileupload-1.0-cvs.jar", "pgsql_driver74.213.jar", "mysql-connector-java-3.0.15-ga-bin.jar" and "hsqldb-1.7.2.6.jar".

    Now, the last step: copy all files and directories from JForum 2.1 over the files from version 2.0.2. Make sure you have backup of all 2.0.2 data before you do this. Restart the servlet container, and start using JForum 2.1.

    Now, re-save ALL permissions for ALL groups. Improvements to the permission model were made, so it is necessary that you save again the roles.

    That's all. For a complete list of new features and improvements, please access http://www.jforum.net/release-notes.htm

    .conf files? By default there is no .conf files. The only one is jforum-custom.conf, which is 1) dinamically created or 2) created by you

    HHmm.. the categories were supposed to be there. They aren't deleted. Try saving again the permissions for the groups you have

    file system. Default directory is "upload". You can change it using the keys "attachments.upload.dir" and "attachments.store.dir" in the file SystemGlobals.properties.

    When I upgraded from 2.0.2 to 2.1 I could see list of topics in forum, but couldn't view posts within old topics. (Posts in new topics were visible).
    I could solve this problem executing such query

    (this fields were null for old topics and 0 for newly created)

    I use PostgreSQL.
    Did I miss something in upgrade procedure? Or it is just little mistake in upgrade script for PostgreSQL?

    Thanks alot. New version is wonderful.

    Well, I guess it's my fault. I didn't tested the migration scripts for postgresql in a "real" database. I'll add this query and update the package.

    Thanks.

    Maybe I should issustrate the steps I used to get it up.

    I extracted the new forum, edited the new properties files, changing the properties in the new files to match my old ones, following the instructions.

    Then I copied the contents of my old images directory over the current images directory.

    I added a line to the top of the script "use dcforum;" and then
    mysql -u root -p < mysql_2.0.2_to_2.1.sql

    then I changed the permissions on the directory to tomcat and fired it up

    Database is mysql 4.1.9

    Contianer is jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27

    JDK is 1.5.0_01 x86_64

    jdbc driver is the one that's included in the jforum distro. Perhaps that's the issue. I'll try and upgrade that next

    Well, the connector/j shoulb be 3.1.4-beta. The newer versions will not work correctly. Also, I guess the BufferXXXException is because JDK 1.5. Can you try with 1.4, please? ( and connector/j 3.1.4-beta)

    Got it. It's not JDK specific, but rather, my existing jforum-custom.conf (on my system previously called tomcat.conf) contained a database.connection.string which is different than the SystemGlobals.properties connection string. Once I updated the jforum-custom.conf's to be identical, the forums fired up no problem (with the 3.1.4-beta driver, and the 1.5.0_01 jdk).

    Thanks for your help Rafael!

    Here's another upgrade gotcha. You cant use your old templates/mail/activateAccount.txt file

    If you do the activate new acount email will blow out the sender like:

    Is there any way to recover these jobs so that the people who tried to create accounts in the last couple of days will work?

    The old will not work because the username is set as ${username }, but in 2.1 it changed to ${user.username}.

    Maybe a stupid question,

    But I use the integrated hsqldb for JForum.
    The Forum is deployed on a windows machine.

    How do I import the upgrade sql script? How do I execute it on the db of the previous version?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I wonder if there will be some sort of upgrading installer or script.
    Because I did the manual interventions, and ended up with nothing

    Everything was gone

    I'm still using 2.02 and I would like to go to the next version...
    I didn't find any patch for 2.04 -> 2.1

    What can I do because previous patch are not available on the site?

    Get version 2.1.3, run the migration scripts, and then migrate to 2.1.4

    Where is the version 2.1.3? I didn't find it on the download page (it's why I ask how to do from 2.02 ;))

    It won't work correctly. The existing sql server code was a partial contribution made by someone else. You can get it and try to finish, to fit into your needs.

    Does upgrade from 2.1 to 2.1.4 require database (sqlserver) data changes?

    No - sqlserver is not well supported in any version.

    Is it okay to use sqlserver as database or does code have fatal problems? Do you have plans for supporting sqlserver?
