Migrating Between 1.7.x and 2.0.x

This documentation is no longer maintained. Please see the new GeoServer documentation at http://docs.geoserver.org

Data Directory Migration

When using GeoServer 2.0.x with a data directory from the 1.7.x branch, modifications will occur to the directory immediately that will make the data directory incompatible with 1.7.x! Below is a list of changes made to the directory.

Files and directories added

wfs.xml
wcs.xml
wms.xml
logging.xml
global.xml
workspaces/*
layergroups/*
styles/*.xml

Files renamed

catalog.xml renamed to catalog.xml.old
services.xml renamed to services.xml.old

Reverting from 2.0.x to 1.7.x

In order to revert the directory to be compatible with 1.7.x again:

  1. Delete the files that were added
  2. Rename the catalog.xml.old to catalog.xml and services.xml.old to services.xml.
