Issue in upgrading from 3.59 to 3.69

post by pawan.basu on Jun 24, 2024

  1. Took the backup of nexus folder “mv nexus nexus_bck”
  2. Took the backup of sonatype-work folder “mv sonatype-work sonatype-work_bck”
  3. wget https://download.sonatype.com/nexus/3/nexus-3.69.0-02-java8-unix.tar.gz
  4. unzip the nexus-3.69.0-02-java8-unix.tar.gz
  5. mv nexus-3.69. nexus
  6. I restore the old sonatype-work

Now when I am starting the nexus server I am getting below log

HI @uthpaall

Please elaborate what your trying to do?
In my issue it just take time and gets upgraded automatically, if you are also have same logs then will suggest to wait as in background it upgrading by itself.

I encountered an ultimate failure during the upgrade. Has anyone else experienced the same issue? The log is very long, and the upgrade ultimately ended with a failure and rollback.
