Sounds like I have a symlink issue to resolve. Many thanks for the suggestion.

I see mention in that file that: > "Note if the system property xwiki.data.dir is set then this property is not > used." > But grepping the configuration files reveals no mention of the parameter > xwiki.data.dir This hasn’t changed, the configuration for the permanent dir is still environment.permanentDirectory in xwiki.properties. In your case it seems the xwiki.properties file is not in the right place or maybe you didn’t modify the correct one because XWiki is using the temporary directory (you should get a warning in the console logs by the way). The xwiki.data.dir is not set by default except in the standalone distribution which you’re probably not using anyway since you’re doing an upgrade and if you were using that distribution it’s value is set to “data” which is not what you’re seeing. So I would double check the location of xwiki.properties (should be in WEB-INF/xwiki.properties).
