Crowd upgrade from 2.2.4 to 2.4.0 fails. Bootstrap Error: Not enabled: Crowd REST API
Asked by Bart Bart:

I am performing an upgrade on Crowd to the latest version according to the steps described on <http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CROWD/Upgrading+Crowd+via+Automatic+Database+Upgrade>

But when I start the new installation, it fails and shows me the error page:

|---------------------|-------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------|
| 2012-02-10 17:20:14 | fatal | Required plugins failed to initialise. Please check the logs for errors and restart Crowd. | Not enabled: Crowd REST API |

Please help me, i want to get this up and running so my developers can continue with their jobs :)

This error usually occurs when your plugin imports a package from another bundle with a specific version constraint and either the bundle providing that package doesn't meet those version constraints, or there is no bundle available that provides the specified package.

comments: author: meena radhakrishnan
body: I got the same error with a fresh install using jdk 1.7. After switching to JDK 1.6 now it is working.
