Upgrade to 2021.2 failed and no TeamCityService.exe after rollback steps

Created January 18, 2022 07:26

Hi, our upgrade failed and I followed the rollback steps at https://www.jetbrains.com/help/teamcity/upgrading-teamcity-server-and-agents.html#Automatic+Update, but there is no TeamCityServer.exe in the .old\bin folder, so there is no way to start the service.

Any idea how I can get the exe, without doing a snapshot restore?

Thanks

Hello,

As it says in our documentation, "some files like TeamCityService.exe and teamcity-server.bat are not included into the scope of the autoupdate". As such, they are not included in the backup as well.

May I ask how did you perform the rollback, exactly? If you removed all the files in the [TeamCity directory]\bin\ and copied the files from [TeamCity directory]\.old\bin, you can simply download the .tar.gz distribution of your previous version and copy the missing files from the archive to your installation directory. Don't replace the entire installation (especially not the conf directory!). You can copy the same directories from the archive that exist in the .old folder. This should probably solve your problem.

Note: Before replacing any files, make a manual backup of your current installation just to be safe.

Please let us know if this helps or if you have any more doubts.

Thank you
