[ { "author": "Jeremy Largman", "body": "Good question indeed. This is definitely something we thought a lot about and that we're monitoring closely. We found that everything we considered had tradeoffs. We'll continue to evolve and improve when we learn more, and we already have plans for some improvements.\n\nFirst, we're building a tag wizard that will help people tag things appropriately. It should be ready next week. That should help people pick the right tag when they ask questions, at least their product name and whether it's a development question.\n\nWe did go through the thought experiment of multiple sites, but there are plenty of problems with that model as well. Do gadgets and IDE connectors get their own sites too? Are 'jira' and 'jira-development' one or two sites? We could end up having a dozen or more sites, which would add at least as much confusion as it would reduce, not to mention the overhead of maintaining subscriptions to different services.\n\n*Spaces*, on the other hand, seems like an attractive way to go. We could build spaces to further segment Answers, and we're looking into that. Again, it's a tradeoff - there might be too much segmentation for things that are cross-product - but certainly spaces seem like a strong candidate for organization. We decided to launch Answers this way because when we looked around, we found a bunch of Q \\& A sites that are running quite successfully using tags all in one site. We thought it would be possible to achieve that with Atlassian products, and we thought this way we'd also gain some benefit from cross-product types of questions, especially as we build more integrations and commonalities between our products.\n\nAs for meta.anwers.atlassian.com, I have to admit, we didn't discuss that, even though we do know that 'meta' sites are common practice. A lot of meta questions have arisen already. So far, people have organized them by tagging 'answers'. I'm actually impressed with this. That category has self-organized, and people are really sticking to it; I don't think any of the questions tagged 'answers' needed to be retagged. Evidently it's intuitive enough, and I suspect we'd *still* get meta questions even if we were to split off another site. You'd introduce a new problem! I think the idea of new tags that we didn't think of can arise and the more intuitive ones float to the top is actually one of the good parts about a community tool.\n> in others it seems like it will be too high-traffic\n\nHave you added 'favourite tags'? By default, you are subscribed to your own questions, and to new questions that match your interesting tags (we need to change everything to 'favourite', that's a little [bug](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/ANSWERS-72)). You can also follow an RSS feed for a specific tag.\n\nUltimately, we're definitely tracking this.

[ { "author": "Nic Brough -Adaptavist-", "body": "I'm afraid there isn't one. I'm not sure you could actually create one that would be useful either. Whilst I like the basic idea, let me explain with an example.\n\nMy current client had two Jira installs, both 3.12, but owned by different teams. Simlilarly, they both had Confluence 2.9. One team had no problem updating to Jira 4.0, and the other had an absolute nightmare and ended up going via 3.13. It was the other way round for Confluence going to 3.4.\n\nIn other words, the matrix wouldn't be accurate for us. There's simply too many configurations that might or might not work to boil down to a really simple matrix.\n", "comments": [ { "author": "Ruchi Tandon", "body": "I am not sure Nic if I completely agree.We have standard products and the upgrade should also be straight forward. The upgrade matrix should just be able to say that if you are on version \"x\" then you need to upgrade to version \"y\" before upgrading to \"z\". This is a simple way of saying the same thing as is mentioned in our installation guide as well. Its just a way of summarizing.\n" }, { "author": "Nic Brough -Adaptavist-", "body": "I know, that's why I think there isn't one yet. I really do think it's a useful idea. Especially if you could include Jira + Greenhopper\n\nI'm just unsure about how easy it would be to create. You would have to surround it with caveats that you're only talking about core Atlassian releases, like Jira standalone/WAR, plus one of the supported databases, but no plugins or code changes.\n\nIn the example I gave, you'd end up with people saying \"But Atlassian said it would work\" or \"your matrix is wrong because it doesn't work (for us)\"\n" }, { "author": "Thomas Wendel", "body": "Sorry for not getting back to you both for such a long time. I went through my open questions and stumbled over this one. I was still hoping that Atlassian would come up with such a matrix since I still think it would be helpful.\n\nNic, I totally agree with you: No two installations are the same and even though the installation and update process gets easier all the time, sometimes something just goes wrong during an update. Even though you followed the best practices and did it the exact same way as you have done many times before. Not to mention when there are plugins and special hacks and tweaks involved.\n\nHowever, an update matrix can still point out the intermediate steps you have to take when you upgrade. Especially when the application is rather old (for example if you wanted to upgrade from Confluence 2.2 to 2.8, you had to upgrade to 2.7 first. In order to go from 3.4 to 4, you need to upgrade to 3.5 first).\n\nSuch a matrix would not necessarily say \"But Atlassian said it would work\". Atlassian strongly mentions to back up everything prior to an update, which suggests already: Stuff can go wrong.\n\nAgain, thank you both for answering. \n\nCheers, \nThomas\n" } ] }, { "author": "Jeremy Largman", "body": "My 2 cents - I think Nic is right. The version number isn't the problem. The exception to this is if you're upgrading before Confluence 2.8, for which you need to go to Confuence 2.7 first, although even that has some configuration tricks to get around it.\n\nHave a look at the number of knowledge base articles we have around upgrades over at [Troubleshooting Upgrades](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Troubleshooting+Upgrades) (you can also expand the section under 2.8 to see what I'm referring to above). That page has ended up being a dumping ground for troubleshooting once you have an error message, since anticipating what one-off issue might go wrong in advance became too difficult. None of those issues happen all the time, and all of them happen sometimes. My point is (as Nic's), a pro-active prevention technique wouldn't get all the little one-off configurations. I wish it were as simple as a matrix, but I could never boil it down to that.\n\nAs for JIRA, the two real changes were in JIRA 4.0 (lots of changes) and JIRA 4.3 (user management).\n\nTypically, Confluence is the more complex in an upgrade.\n", "comments": null } ]

Backup your data:\n\n* Create a backup or dump of your database using tools provided by your database\n* Create a file system backup of your Confluence home directory\n\n2. Extract the zip/tar.gz file of the latest version of Confluence on the place you choose.\n\n3. Into the extracted folder, open the file **confluence-init.properties** , which is located at **Confluence install directory\\\\confluence\\\\web-inf\\\\classes** and edit the line: **confluence.home=/usr/local/confluence/home** to point to the path where is your new home folder of your Confluence (from backup).\n\n4. On Confluence home folder, there is the**confluence.cfg.xml** file, the connections settings to your data base are saved into this file. If you have changed the name of your database server, database name, database user name or password, you need to edit this file to modify to your new parameters (from backup).\n\n5. User management integration:\n\nIf you have delegated your user management to JIRA, LDAP, Crowd, or any other external user management system, copy the following files from your old Confluence installation to your new Confluence installation:\n\n* \\<Installation-Directory\\>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/osuser.xml.\n* \\<Installation-Directory\\>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/atlassian-user.xml (if you are upgrading from Confluence 2.2 or later).\n\nIf you are upgrading from an earlier version of Confluence (2.5.5 and earlier) and are copying your existing **atlassian-user.xml** file from your previous instance, please ensure that the hibernate cache parameter in this file has been enabled, to avoid performance related issues. (NOTE: If you use Crowd for your user management, you do not need to do this.):\n\n* \\<hibernate name=\"Hibernate Repository\" key=\"hibernateRepository\" description=\"Hibernate Repository\" cache=\"true\" /\\>\n\nIf you have delegated your user management to Crowd, you will also need to copy the Crowd client library and configuration files from your old Confluence installation to your new Confluence installation:\n\n* \\<Installation-Directory\\>/confluence/WEB-INF/lib/crowd-integration-client-X.X.X.jar and \\<Installation-Directory\\>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/crowd.properties.\n* **NOTE**: This steps is not needed if you are upgrading Confluence to version 3.5.x\n\nIf you need more information, please refer to the [Crowd documentation](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CROWD/Integrating+Crowd+with+Atlassian+Confluence \"Crowd documentation\").\n\n6.
