Upgrade from 6.2 to 7 fails

I have tried to upgrade from 6.2 to 7.0.0.201 and 7.0.0.202 on multiple VMs and constantly get a 500 error on startup:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: lucee/runtime/util/AI
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: lucee.runtime.util.AI

Used the linux installer for 6.2 - lucee-6.2.0.321-linux-x64-installer.run

For the upgrade, I’ve tried using the Admin UI, I’ve patched using the Core, and I’ve tried using the JAR file. All three methods get the exact same error. For the Core/JAR removing the JAR or lco file and restarting brings back the 6.2 install.

Java and Tomcat versions are the bundled version in the 6.2 installer.

The Lucee Loader version has been has been updated with 7, release notes coming. AI has been added to the Loader, so that other extensions can also use the built in AI support.

You need to replace the lucee.jar in the /lib folder with the same version as the BETA.

I just kicked off the installer builds, they are up on https://download.lucee.org/
