Symptoms

Starting Fisheye/Crucible fails with the following error:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 2012-09-07 13:11:59,115 ERROR [main ] mortbay.log Slf4jLog-warn - Failed startup of context com.cenqua.fisheye.web.jetty.FishEyeWebApplicationContext@4bdccc{/,/FISHEYE_HOME/fecru-2.7.12/content} org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'dbControlFactory' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [com.cenqua.crucible.hibernate.DBControlFactoryImpl]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Problem starting the database : The current database schema version is 79, but it should be 76 or below. Downgrading of the database is not supported. Please visit http://docs.atlassian.com/fisheye/docs-027/Backing+Up+and+Restoring+Fisheye+Data for information on restoring from a backup

Cause

The current database has been changed because a more recent version of Fisheye/Crucible has been installed on top of it (upgrading it) and it is now trying to run an older version with a recent version's database.
