I'm running an instance of Artifactory that was initially installed as an RPM
of 2.6.1 and upgraded to 2.6.6 (I believe it was upgraded to 2.6.6 manually,
not via RPM?), it was using a pre 5.5 version of MySQL.

I upgraded to 3.2.0 by installing 3.2.0 in a different place, importing the
exported 2.6.6 system and copying the 2.6.6 filestore into 3.2.0.

Everything seems to work great. Maven projects with pom files that reference
our Artifactory instance build successfully. But I'm concerned about
whatever was stored in the MySQL "artifactory" schema when I was using
2.6.6.

This was set when I was using 2.6.6:

artifactory.system.properties:artifactory.jcr.configDir=repo/filesystem-mysql


I tried configuring 3.2.0 to use a new MySQL schema "artdb" but the version
of MySQL I'm running (e.g. 5.1.73) doesn't use innodb by default, and
Artifactory failed to start with it. 

I followed the instructions that mention copying and editing the
mysql.properties file over the default storage.properties file, as well as
creating the new "artdb" schema with createdb.sql.

It seems to run fine with the default storage properties file. So, I went
back to using it.

Am I missing anything important by not importing the 2.6.6 MySQL
"artifactory" schema data into 3.2.0? The upgrade steps don't mention this? 

Am I missing anything important by no longer using MySQL?

Is it OK for me to go back to not using MySQL after it failing to work with
my version of MySQL, by switching back to the original storage properties? 

The instructions say it's not OK if switching from binary mysql db storage
back to file system binary storage (but I was not doing that).

Another thing I noticed was the RPM seems to put stuff all over the place
and use symbolic links, where a manual 3.2.0 install does much less of that.

Also, in the default storage properties

#binary.provider.type=filesystem

is commented out, but isn't it supposed to be the default? I think that is
confusing, unless I am misunderstanding.


Thanks,
Bill
