Re: Reinstall jenkins (upgrade)...

[Scott Bell]

OK, I fixed it by doing the following ...

1) Clean install of latest Jenkins to same location as old install (in my 
case C:\Hudson)
2) Shut down Jenkins service, deleted all files in C:Hudson (post install)
3) Restored all Hudson-Jenkins files/folders from my backup 
(C:\.Hudson, C:\Hudson, C:\apache-ant-1.8.4)
4) Started Jenkins service and working normally again.

I am guessing that there is something the installer does, perhaps JAVA 
based, that manually uninstalling and reinstalling the service wasn't 
catching.

Also, for the sake of adding more information - it looks like the original 
installation was done manually - there was a .hudson folder and Hudson 
folder in root of C: and a folder for ANT at C:\apache-ant-1.8.4 - before 
the 'clean' install I backed up all those then removed then - so now the 
clean install is at C:\Hudson.  The old XML files from the previous 
installation (at what was C:Hudson) are shown below:


(note shown, but there - Jenkins.xml, Hudson.xml, config.xml, and 
nodemonitor.xml)

I am going to try moving all files form the old directory back on top of 
this fresh install leaving just the new jenkins.war and jenkins.exe - will 
advise but I believe I tried that already to no avail.

Reinstall jenkins (upgrade)...

[Scott Bell]

We recently had an old Hudson-Jenkins install (running on Windows Server 
2k8 R2) go bad (Jenkins service refusing to start - copying back war file 
did not resolve as it used to when this would happen) and were unable to 
resolve the issue. 

This installation pre-dates anyone currently on this project and I have to 
admit I am clueless as to how it is setup and works, so troubleshooting has 
been difficult.  I installed a fresh version of Jenkins (windows installer, 
latest) and moved over our jobs folder but am not able to get packages to 
build.  Jenkins starts, it sees the previous jobs and their properties seem 
intact, and Jenkins can see our SVN repositories and seems to be able to 
read them.  However, when we try to build it just doesn't see changes and 
doesn't output any builds. 

I tried several means of 'upgrading' - installing new version fresh and 
moving over the jobs folder - installing new version on top of old version 
in its location, and various degrees of switching war files and other 
folders and files back on top of a new install.  All yield the same result 
- Jenkins runs, sees the SVN repository, has the jobs info - but produces 
no builds.

Any suggestions?  If you had a bad install (old version, probably 2+ years) 
and wanted to just install fresh and move the stuff over what all needs to 
move (jobs folder, obviously ... but what else)?
