Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

the dir you entered is the dir where you downloaded and built the UI, not the 
dir where the webapp runs from, which is either in the tomcat webapps dir, or 
is linked from a tomcat config to another dir.  That dir should have WEB-INF 
inside of it.  Do you know where that dir is?

Thanks,
Chris

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:

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
