Hello,

I have a working xwiki 7.1.4 installation. It uses MySQL + file system
datastore and LDAP as an authentication backend.

I'm trying - so far unsuccessfully - to upgrade it to more recent version.
I've
tried 7.4.3 and 8.0 but in both cases I end up with broken UI - the search
bar at the top is missing - http://www.bankfotek.pl/image/1995162, the
right hand 'drawer' menu has much has only Log-in/Log out buttons:
http://www.bankfotek.pl/image/1995161 . In contrast this is how 7.1.4 looks
like: http://www.bankfotek.pl/image/1995168


The steps I'm taking during the upgrade process:
* i move the old instance of the xwiki into another folder
* there are no files left by the old instance
* i download and unzip xwiki-enterprise-jetty-hsqldb-7.4.3.zip or
 xwiki-enterprise-jetty-hsqldb-8.0.zip
* i copy webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib/mysql-connector-java from the
 old xwiki installation
* i also copy the whole data/storage from the old instance
* i modify the webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF hibernate.cfg.xml coming from
7.4.3 or 8.0 and comment out there the definition of
<property
name="connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:file:${environment.permanentDirectory}/database/xwiki_db;shutdown=true</property>
<property name="connection.username">sa</property>
<property name="connection.password"></property>
<property name="connection.driver_class">org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</property>
<property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property> -->

and replace it with own connection string to local mysql

in the xwiki.cfg taken from 7.4.3 or 8.0 i add:
xwiki.store.attachment.hint=file
xwiki.store.attachment.versioning.hint=file
xwiki.store.attachment.recyclebin.hint=file
xwiki.authentication.authclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.LDAP.XWikiLDAPAuthServiceImpl
xwiki.authentication.ldap=1

Then I start the new xwiki using:

./start_xwiki.sh -p 8090 -ld /tmp/

When I visit the newly installed wiki [also after logging in] - there's no
Distribution
Wizard -  just a familiar front page of our wiki.

I've tried triggering the Distribution Wizard by
removing data/jobs/status/distribution/status.xml
and restarting the xwiki but it did not help.

I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions that can help me with bringing 8.0
to fully usable state.
