which specifically says that the instructions won’t work for a 5-6 upgrade so I don’t know if the errors I’m getting are caused by an unsupport path or if they are legitimate errors.
by taking a backup and restoring as the guide dictates I get issues requesting the masterpassword which I do not know. I’d have assumed that any masterpassword/file setting should have been included in the backup
As you identified the existing methods of upgrading Payara Server 5 do not apply for upgrading from Payara 5 → Payara 6. We are currently investigating why this doesn’t work and aim to have an upgrade path available soon.
For now we recommend using a new installation and setup of Payara Server 6, although we are aware that solution is not ideal, your patience while we investigate upgrade paths is appreciated
