Yellowfin FAQ shared this problem ago

Defect Fixed

When upgrading to 8.0.1 and using a renamed ROOT, you may be forced to manually specify the application folder, which will cause the following error:

7d2b4afed38617d506da2c7306bae25a

The real error is logged within the 'YellowfinPatchLog' within the application folder:

This issue will ONLY occur if you have a custom ROOT folder and manually choosing the application folder.

For example, here is a standard Yellowfin install:

94821f73491961588b0e8a8ea3a031d7

Here is one where the ROOT folder was renamed:

512c73285b9078340ff8e46404e9042e

During the upgrade, if you were to manually choose the path c:\test\Yellowfin2\appserver\webbapps\MyApp, then the upgrade will fail with the the above error mentioned.

Note: In this case The Upgrade Patch log will be within the Backup you chose as part of the upgrade.

This is currently being addressed and will be released via a patch update. In the interim if you've run into this issue, please raise a ticket with the support team so we can organise an interim fix.

Regards,

David
