Upgrade from 3.2.0 to 3.3.1

Splunk 8.0.2.1. Had some trouble doing the upgrade, tried uploading from file. Got a message about files being in-use. Disabled the app, upgraded, enabled, multiple restarts.

AttributeError: module 'dbx2' has no attribute 'dbx_logging_formatter'

Restarted Windows, no joy.

Clean install, similar results:

Clean install of 3.2.0

Turns out dbx_settings.conf was missing taskServerPort. Even though it was defined in the web UI, it wasn't in the config file. Manually adding it and restarting Splunk allowed it to start. Then I just had to retype in my identity passwords (otherwise BouncyCastle crypto errors).
