[zanata-users] Error 503 while getting Zanata resources from Red Hat server

[Sean Flanigan]

Hi Alessandro,

Zanata is designed to update its database schema automatically at startup
if required (using Liquibase), but there have been some changes in the
config files (eg EAP's/WildFly's standalone-full.xml). In fact, moving from
Zanata 3.x to 4.x, you will need to upgrade JBoss EAP or WildFly too (which
use a whole new standalone-full.xml baseline).

Zanata's release notes are here:
http://docs.zanata.org/en/release/release-notes/ You can skim past all the
bug numbers, but the text in between includes actions which the system
administrator must take for each upgrade.

And the installation guide (may be up to date):
http://docs.zanata.org/en/release/user-guide/system-admin/configuration/installation/


You basically need to add your system properties (adjusted as per the
release notes), configure a new Infinispan cache and a JMS queue (as per
release notes) and configure SMTP.

This JBoss CLI file shows how we customise standalone-full.xml for some of
our tests:
https://github.com/zanata/zanata-platform/blob/2e2d1ea124255b6f4edaf979e5f28731dbd56e5f/server/docker/conf/zanata-config.cli
- although you will need to put in your own values, eg file system paths
and database config, plus you don't need all the logging config and you
probably don't need so many authentication systems.

I would *strongly* recommend testing the upgrade (with a copy of your
production data) before upgrading your production machine. Especially in
view of the app server upgrade.

Regards,


Sean.
