Upgraded to 4.4.0 (32bit) from 3.8.0. Cannot access Management Site

Yesterday I did an upgrade from 3.8.0 to 4.4.0 (I did not see anywhere that said I couldn’t and the installer went ahead and completed it). After installation I can no longer connect to the web management page. I am getting a 500 error with the following:

Problem accessing /. Reason:

    Server Error

Not sure what the issue is here. I have Openfire running on W7 and I grabbed the installer with JRE in it. Not sure what to look at/check/do next.

Just to make this clear… All seems to be working great from the Spark clients. Lists populate, chats are working, status is correct, all of my links come through. I just cannot get to the admin console website so I cannot make changes.

Thanks,
Ryan

In theory it should work, but as installer has to do a few dozens of database updates since 3.8.0 and many files and libraries have changed, it can fail.

Sounds a bit like https://issues.igniterealtime.org/browse/OF-1647 though it should be fixed. Check if you have plugins/admin/webapp/WEB-INF/lib folder and remove it. Stop Openfire before doing that.

If it doesn’t help, you can revert back to backup and try doing incremental updates. Explanation: upgrading Openfire

Thanks. Yea, that did not work. I was planning on moving the installation to a new server anyway so I’ll just start from scratch and rebuild.

Thank you though.
