As the Alfresco 201605 has new features and configs in the alfreco-properties.global file, changes from the old must be transfered manually

Link /opt/alfresco-5.1/alf_data to /data/alf_data

cd /opt/alfresco-201605/

rm -rf alf_data

ln -s /data/alf_data alf_data

Copy MySQL Driver

 root@afserver:~# cp /opt/alfresco-5.1/tomcat/lib/mysql-connector-java-*.jar /opt/alfresco-201605/tomcat/lib/

Be sure to remove the startup of the old version (like /etc/init.d/alfresco50d) to avoid 2 versions being started

Start Alfresco (now the startup is just "alfresco")

root@afserver:~# /etc/init.d/alfresco-201605 start
