# Upgrade Utility

This section describes known Upgrade utility issues and associated solutions.

Bug ID | Summary
--- | ---
6165528 | Domains created in custom-path other than `install_dir/domains` directory are not upgraded directly while upgrading from Application Server Enterprise Edition 8 to Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1. When running the Upgrade Utility and identifying the `install_dir` as the source installation directory, the upgrade process upgrades only those domains that are created under `install_dir/domains` directory. Domains created in other locations are not upgraded. Solution Before starting the upgrade process, copy all the domain directories from their different locations to the `install_dir/domains` directory.
2. 6207337 | On some Linux systems, the installer running "Upgrade in place" fails to start upgrade tool after clicking on the "Start Upgrade Wizard" button. This problem has been observed on several Linux systems, it is most common on Java Desktop System 2 but has also been observed on Red Hat distributions. After clicking the "Start Upgrade Tool" button on the final installer screen, the installer fails to launch the upgrade tool to complete the upgrade process, and hangs indefinitely, not returning the command prompt. Solution This issue is not encountered if command line installation mode is used to run upgrade in place. If you ran upgrade in place in GUI mode and encountered this problem, exit the installer by pressing Ctrl+C in the terminal window in which the installer was started. Start upgrade tool from the terminal window, using following command:
       install_dir/bin/asupgrade --source install_dir/domains --target
       install_dir --adminuser adminuser --adminpassword adminpassword
       --masterpassword changeit
3. adminuser and adminpassword should match the values used for the installation you are upgrading. When the upgrade tool completes the upgrade process you can also start the browser and enter following URL in order to review About page:
       file://install_dir/docs-ee/about.html
If you also selected the installation option to register the product, follow the link to registration page available on product About page.
6296105 | Self-signed certificate is not trusted during and after upgrade from 8.0 Platform Edition (PE) to 8.1 Enterprise Edition (EE) UR2. Solution Remove the following entries from the target `domain.xml` (after the upgrade) and restart the server:
    <jvm-options>-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}
    /config/keystore.jks</jvm-options>-
    <jvm-options>Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}
    /config/cacerts.jks</jvm-options>
