Good day everyone,
I am trying to upgrade from 2.33.9 to 2.34.0 which failed and I tried 2.34.1 which also failed. I can’t vividly understand the error and I need technical support. Please attach the logs in a word document because of the size of the records and the flyway database query.
These are the major ERRORS within the log file… Why is my log showing dhis.log and Appender? How do they stop some of the listeners?

Dear all,
Since I cannot identify why the migration from 2.33.9 to 2.34.1 failed, nor did I receive any response(s), I upgraded from 2.33.9 to 2.35.14, and it was successful.
Then I upgrade my java to OpenJDK-11 as per upgrade reviews and upgrade, from 2.35.14 to 2.38.1.1. These steps fixed my issues
I will still appreciate it if someone can tell me why the upgrade from 2.33.9 to 2.34.1 failed
Hi Gerald Thomas,
From the details of the log file you shared, it looks like there was a permission issue. It is possible that the tomcat user didn’t have sufficient permissions in the dhis2 home directory.
I hope our response is able to solve the issue you were facing.
