Confluence Replacing a failed plugin with an older version.

[Paul DeSousa]

Hi all,

I am in an urgent need here.  Atlassian hasn't gotten back to me, and I have installed Team calendars 5.2.11 and it simply does not enable.  This is a very highly used tool needed daily by my users.   I went and got 5.2.10 but every time I upload it, it does not replace 5.2.11?!?   Do I have to uninstall 5.2.11 first?   Will any data be lost if I do that?  (We are using Confluence 5.7.3)

As for 5.2.11 the log files states:

2015-05-19 08:09:13,974 ERROR [ThreadPoolAsyncTaskExecutor::Thread 45] [internal.dependencies.startup.DependencyWaiterApplicationContextExecutor] fail Unable to create application context for [com.atlassian.confluence.extra.team-calendars], unsatisfied dependencies: none

Thanks in advance,

Robert

Hi Robert,

Yes you need to uninstall. Data will not be lost, however, you can make a back up of the following tables

`AO_950DC3_TC_CUSTOM_EV_TYPES`, `AO_950DC3_TC_DISABLE_EV_TYPES`, `AO_950DC3_TC_EVENTS`, `AO_950DC3_TC_EVENTS_EXCL`, `AO_950DC3_TC_EVENTS_INVITEES`, `AO_950DC3_TC_JIRA_REMI_EVENTS`, `AO_950DC3_TC_REMINDER_SETTINGS`, `AO_950DC3_TC_REMINDER_USERS`, `AO_950DC3_TC_SUBCALS`, `AO_950DC3_TC_SUBCALS_PRIV_GRP`, `AO_950DC3_TC_SUBCALS_PRIV_USR`, `AO_950DC3_TC_SUBCALS_PROPS`

Regards

Thanks I did and it did go back to 5.2.10, but that now does not enable. Oh well, hopefully Atlassian will get back with me soon.

You can also try to delete plugin cache; however, this requires to restart Confluence. https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/How+to+clear+Confluence+plugins+cache

Great idea. I have scheduled a reboot for noon and when I do that I will remove all the caches...
