No, it's usually because you removed all extensions located in permanent directory (extension/repository/ folder). Looks like you cleaned too much stuff. The repair message is not about missing status but about a database with a lot of documents and not a single extension registered. > > So I selected 7.4.1 from the menu, but then got stuck with the "This version > is not compatible with your installation" error. There is no such "blocker" error AFAIK. It does indicate you that this version is invalid (because this version require WAR version 7.4.1) but it's not supposed to block you in any way, you should have an upgrade button. > > On the second run, I had everything restored from backup, including the > status.xml file. > This time, the DW did *not* ask me for the old version, but went straight to > the upgrade process. > > I don't know if this explanation makes sense, but if it does the DW could be > made more robust > when detecting the XWiki version to upgrade from, especially as removing the > status.xml file > is mentioned in the DW troubleshooting section. > > - - andreas > > - -- > Andreas Haumer | mailto:andr...@xss.co.at > *x Software + Systeme | http://www.xss.co.at/ > Karmarschgasse 51/2/20 | Tel: +43-1-6060114-0 > A-1100 Vienna, Austria | Fax: +43-1-6060114-71 > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQFW+p3AxJmyeGcXPhERAlD3AJ4y7yGqzgI3Pc10S08zvzQxySxx+wCcDvd0 > eacl3mJbrhQFqfzdpaboR3k= > =sgF1 > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list > users@xwiki.org > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users -- Thomas Mortagne _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
