SMC Upgrade 6.1.4 to 7.0.8 Fails

MentalMickey

When upgrading from v6.1.4 to v7.0.8 I ran aground as it came up with a very bland error message:

“Error! Database update error. Please contact support.”

Not very helpful.

So the next step is to look in the logfiles under the Sophos Mobile Control\wildfly\standalone\log called SMCSVC_install.log and install_wizard.log. These both pointed to an issue connecting to the database because it couldn’t find the MySQL driver.

Well try as I might I coudn’t find the mysql driver, but noticed references to mariadb in there. So I figured I’d have a look for that. and there it was. No sign of Mysql, but the MariaDB .jar driver is installed.

I then opened up the mdm.properties file under Sophos Mobile Control\tools\Wizard and changed the references to myql to mariadb:

driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver to driver=org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver

and changed all references for jdbc:mysql to jdbc:mariadb

Then re-ran the setup program and it connected to the database, carried out the necessary updates and then the new service started up. So it all went well and now we’re running v7.0.8
