Hi Wouter,
Thanks for sharing your experience. Based on this info, here is my
thinking:
The 'old' domain.xml has info that admin console has been deployed,
and that version is build 26.
Then when you overwrite the new domain.xml with this old copy, the
code detects that. It thinks you already have build 26 admin console
installed and deployed, and you also downloaded build 28. So, we need
to do an upgrade. Everything is fine so far and executed as expected.
During upgrade, the code tries to backup the old bits which is under
glassfish/lib/install/applications/__admingui but failed since that
directory doesn't exist. Thats why you get this error:
Cannot backup previous version of __admingui
and the upgrade stopped. Which means the new console will not be
deployed.
Maybe we can be more forgiving when we cannot find this old bits and
just continue with the upgrade process.
This error will not happen if you are actually using the updatetool or
admin console to do the upgrade. In this case, the old bits will be
there, and the backup will be successful and upgrade will continue. I
forgot if all the bugs has been ironed out relating to update in Admin
Console for build 26. But definitely is working fine in build 27.
One thing you can do later when build 28a is out is just update your
current installation from b28 to b28a. You can use updatetool or
through the Admin Console. You should see all the updates
available. Install all the updates and restart the server. That
should give you build 28a. That will be a good test too :)
thanks
Anissa.
