| 8c99a7 | 1 | ## Upgrading Gitblit WAR (1.2.1+) |
| 6c4be1 | 2 | 1. Make sure your `WEB-INF/web.xml` *baseFolder* context parameter is not `${contextFolder}/WEB-INF/data`! |
| 8c99a7 | 3 | If it is, move your `WEB-INF/data` folder to a location writeable by your servlet container. |
| JM | 4 | 2. Deploy new WAR |
| 5 | 3. Edit the new WAR's `WEB-INF/web.xml` file and set the *baseFolder* context parameter to your external baseFolder. | |
| 6 | 4. Review and optionally apply any new settings as indicated in the [release log](releases.html) to `${baseFolder}/gitblit.properties`. | |

| 11 | 1. Create a `data` as outlined in step 1 of *Upgrading Gitblit GO (pre-1.2.1)* | |
| 12 | 2. Copy your existing web.xml to your data folder | |
| 13 | 3. Deploy new WAR | |
| 14 | 4. Copy the new WAR's `WEB-INF/data/gitblit.properties` file to your data folder | |
| 15 | 5. Manually apply any changes you made to your original web.xml file to the gitblit.properties file you copied to your data folder | |
| 16 | 6. Edit the new WAR's `WEB-INF/web.xml` file and set the *baseFolder* context parameter to your external baseFolder. | |

| 20 | The *baseFolder* context parameter has been replaced with a *baseFolder* JNDI env-entry. This means you can define the *baseFolder* from the administrative console of your servlet container and not have to manipulate anything in the web.xml file. | |
