dataverse 5.3 upgrade instructions

[xoroz]

I did the upgrade from 5.2 to 5.3 and upgraded also payara5 and I noticed that I had to
perform a step that I believe its missing in the documentation.

basicaly I had some errors about javaclassnotfound because the postgresql library was not found.
I resolved this by copying it from my old install.
Maybe you could update the instructions with this info
cd payara5/glassfish/lib
cp -fv payara5-old/glassfish/lib/postgresql-42.2.12.jar .
systemctl restart payara

thanks for the great product!

As of 5.3, the WAR includes the driver for you. Not sure what might cause it not being picked up from there. Any chance we can create a reproducer?

for me it did not work, until i copied the lib

That's strange, as @poikilotherm well knows, he moved the postgres lib into the war in pull request #7420.

It does sounds like something might be wrong in the release notes but it's odd that you still need the postgres lib outside the war.

Hi @xoroz - I'm going to close this issue for now and we'll see if it happens for any other installations, as many others will move to the 5.3 version. If it does happen, we'll revisit those release notes. Thank you!
