Hi Chris,

I've been trying to run the upgrader this morning but have hit a wall . . . 

The API upgrade appears to have passed without incident, but when I try and 
upgrade the UI, I'm hitting a problem with the installer not being able to 
find the UI properties files:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
grouper@grouperdev:/opt/grouper/tmp/grouperUpgrade_v2_2_1#
 java -jar grouperInstaller.jar 
Do you want to 'install' a new installation of grouper, 'upgrade' an existing 
installation
  or 'patch' an existing installation
  (enter: 'install', 'upgrade', 'patch' or blank for the default) [install]: 
upgrade
You should backup your files and database before you start.  Press <enter> to 
continue.

##################################
Gather upgrade information

Enter in a Grouper temp directory to download tarballs (note: better if no 
spaces or special chars) [/opt/grouper/tmp/grouperUpgrade_v2_2_1]: 
What do you want to upgrade?  api, ui, ws, or psp? [api]: ui
Are there any running processes using this installation?  tomcats?  loader?  
psp?  etc?  (t|f)? [f]:

Where is the grouper UI installed? /opt/grouper/grouper.ui-2.2.0/
Cant find Grouper UI properties files or libs, looked in the directory, 
/classes/ , /conf/ , /WEB-INF/classes/ , /lib/ , /WEB-INF/lib/ , 
/lib/grouper/ , /dist/lib/
Where is the grouper UI installed?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- but, visually at least, the ui conf files appear to be there:

root@grouperdev:/opt/grouper/grouper.ui-2.2.0/conf#
 ls -l

drwxr-xr-x 4 grouper grouper  4096 Aug  5 10:27 resources
drwxr-xr-x 2 grouper grouper  4096 Aug  5 10:27 subjectPicker


I've tried a few things in an effort to get around this, but no joy as it all 
looks fine to me so I'm stabbing in the dark a bit . . .

Any thoughts on why I might be getting stuck here, and, perhaps more 
importantly, how I can get past this point?

Cheers,

Mike
