A new version (v2.5.3) of the Database Connector is no longer included in the v7.3 frevvo tomcat bundle. It is available in a separate download. You can download it here.  The database.war does not extract after startup. You will not see a database subfolder in the <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps directory if you are using the tomcat bundle as in previous releases.

The Database Connector v2.5.3 requires v7.3.2 . The v2.5.3+ database connector datasources are now defined in the new <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\frevvo-config.properties files. The v2.4.* database connector datasources were defined directly in configuration.xml. This upgrade requires you to move your datasource configuration out of configuration.xml and into a configuration properties file.

It may be necessary to increase heap size for the Insight server, when reporting on/indexing a large number of submissions. Refer to the memory configuration topic for the details.

Warning

Configuring the database and Email has not changed. They are now both configured in the v7.4 server.xml file.

Insight log

This is intentional and a byproduct of integrating the insight.war into the frevvo.war. The messages formerly in the insight logs are now in the frevvo logs.
