Upgrade of CE installation to 4.1

[Oliver Knorr]

Hello everybody,

in the release notes for Magnolia 4.1 I noticed the
following paragraph in the upgrade instructions:

| Update the nodetypes definitions: execute the updatenodetypes
| or updatenodetypes.bat script from the add-ons/magnolia-tools/bin
| folder of Magnolia Enterprise Edition application server bundle.
| On a typical setup, you'll only need to pass it the -webapp argument,
| like for example:
|
| ./updatenodetypes -webapp /Applications/Magnolia/apache-tomcat-5.5.25/webapps/magnoliaAuthor/
|
| Do this for all your instances.

(that's on http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/releases/4-1.html)

Only the Enterprise Edition is mentioned here, and indeed in the
Community Edition download, there is no such script.

My question: how do I upgrade a Magnolia CE installation?
Can I just skip this step, or do I need to do something else?

Thanks for your help!
Best regards,
Oliver

I just cloned a 4.0 CE author instance with data and tried
the normal upgrade. At first sight, it seems to work fine.

However, I don't have a good feeling about this.
"Notetype definitions" sound repository related and
not EE specific. Does anybody know what the script
is supposed to do?

Best regards,
Oliver.

Hello everybody,

my bad feeling was justified - I just tried to install
STK 1.1.2 on this instance and the installation failed,
while it works fine on a fresh 4.1.1 instance.

I noticed that the file custom_nodetypes.xml is different
between those two instances, so I just tried to copy the 4.1.1
custom_nodetypes.xml to the upgraded instance and this time,
the STK installation was possible. However, I first had to
roll back to the situation before the failed STK installation
attempt (probably because STK installation also modifies the
custom_nodetypes.xml).

Again, everything seems to work fine now. Unfortunately,
I'm not sure if that's all, or if there is still something
else to do for the upgrade.

Best regards,
Oliver.
