    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Both JIRA and Confluence could use upgrade script improvements.

      1- Migration of web.xml and server.xml files
      2- Migration of extra certs and cacerts file
      3- Migration of crowd.properties file
      4- Choice of backup location, not just parent directory
      5- Choice of starting immediately or not at all

      Migration of web.xml and server.xml files
      -I would have to guess that most folks run over SSL and change the keystore password (and possibly location) and therefore the default server.xml doesn't work.
      -I would also have to guess that most folks up the session timeout in the web.xml and therefore the default web.xml doesn't work.

      Migration of extra certs and cacerts file
      -Extra certs and an updated cacerts file seems likely for most users.

      Migration of crowd.properties file
      -If you utilize crowd for auth, this file has to be migrated, the default file is wrong.

      Choice of backup location, not just parent directory
      -It is odd to backup to the parent directories, would be much better to give the user a choice.

      Choice of starting immediately or not at all
      -Normally I like to check things over before starting it back up. Might be something the installer forgot (in the current state, all the above things).
