Nuxeo 6.0 does not restart after last hotfix. How may I save our Nuxeo instance?

I cannot start the server after applying the hotfixes nuxeo-6.0-HF11-1.4.0 and nuxeo-6.0-HF12-1.0.1 Tomcat is starting up but the Nuxeo runtime is unable to start. What is the problem here and how may I fix this? Is there a way to rollback the hotfixes or undo them manually?

Best regards J

That issue will be fixed in the next hotfix 6.0-HF13.

Well thanx! That looks a lot easier. I will do that next time.

Exactly the same error occurs after installing HF13.

I am going to give the answer myself.

I don't know what the real problem was but the solution for me was to restore the essential files from the backup server.

While the service was not running I replaced the following directories to the state they had before the hotfix:

  • /var/lib/nuxeo/server/conf
  • /var/lib/nuxeo/server/bin
  • /var/lib/nuxeo/server/packages
  • /var/lib/nuxeo/server/nxserver
  • /var/lib/nuxeo/server/templates
  • /var/lib/nuxeo/server/webapps

It might have been enough with just nxserver and packages but to be really sure I took all directoies that had files changed by the hotfix.

I Then started nuxeo with

$ sudo /etc/init.d/nuxeo start

Et voilĂ ! It all worked again.
