Klaus, I just went through this a couple of days ago myself. I found that the best way to go is to do the upgrade in increments (I was upgrading from 3.2). After much trial and error, I finally found a way that works. I went from 3.2-RELEASE => 3.5-STABLE => 4.1-RELEASE=> 4.3-RELEASE. I tried going directliy from 3.2 to 4.3, but to no avail. I tried going from 3.2 to 4.0...again, no luck....I went from 3.5 to 4.1 instead of 4.0 because upgrading to 4.0 resulted in build errors. Quite a tricky business upgrading from the 3.x branch. Anyway, I hope this helps somewhat. -Scott Klaus Steden wrote: > Help! > > I'm not sure where to begin ...
