Starting Bamboo 8, a new file was introduced to the home folder, called bamboo-shared.cfg.xml. It contains the application's build number. Example:
1
2
3
4
5
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><application-configuration>
<properties>
<property name="build-number">80009</property>
</properties>
</application-configuration> One of the upgrade tasks checks if the new local home is using an older shared home. If, for any reason, that file gets corrupted and shows an older build number than your current one, the upgrade will fail.
E.g., if your current version is 7.2.5 (build 70212), but the file refers to the build number as 60805 (Bamboo 6.8.1), once you try to upgrade to Bamboo 8.0+, it will not match the above criteria and the upgrade will fail.
Solution
Simply update the file and replace the build number with the new one (which you can get from the error in the logs).
Stop Bamboo.
Make a backup and then edit the <bamboo-home>/xml-data/configuration/bamboo-shared.cfg.xml file, changing the build number to the one pointed out by the error message, at the following property:
1<property name="build-number">80009</property>The file should then look like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <application-configuration> <properties> <property name="build-number">80009</property> </properties> </application-configuration>Delete everything inside the following folders (but not the folders themselves):
1 2 3 4<bamboo-home>/caches/ <bamboo-home>/temp/ <bamboo-home>/index/ <bamboo-home>/jms-store/Start Bamboo.
That's it!
