Clear existing Database for fresh install

Rummy | Last updated: Jul 20, 2022 07:48PM UTC

Hi, We already have burpsuite which is initailly installed in 2020 and has the upgrade functionality within the product, but with this we are having both Java 9 and Java 11 in our directories which is causing the vulnerabilities in scanning due to the presence of Java9. We are planning to do a fresh install of burpsuite with higher version to eliminate this Java9. But I would like the use the current Database that I initially created while installing the During the process of installation we do run a step to create an user for agent and master on database as below. Is there a way/commands that I can clear the database burpenterprise and users and passwords created to use the same DB and create fresh during the install to avoid errors while installation? CREATE DATABASE burpenterprise; CREATE USER **** PASSWORD '*****'; CREATE USER ***** PASSWORD '****'; GRANT ALL ON DATABASE burpenterprise TO *****;

Hi Rummy,

Thanks for your message.

You can perform the below to remove Java 9 and keep your data, without requiring any changes to the database.

1) Take a backup of your database

2) Check Burp Enterprise is running the latest version (Currently v2022.6 in Settings > Updates)

3) Download the matching version installer: e.g v2022.6

4) Run the installer (right click and run as administrator for Windows, or run using sudo for Linux).

5) Please check and make sure to specify the existing installation directory. Unless you changed this, the default is:
Windows: C:\Program Files\burpsuite_enterprise

Linux: /opt/burpsuite_enterprise - or - /usr/local/burp_enterprise

6) The existing installation will be detected and you will see a prompt to overwrite the installation. Select OK.

7) The installation files will be replaced, but your data preserved. This will also remove any old Java 9 directories.

Please let me know if that worked for you?
