Re: Process for moving older RB database to new install
Hey Christian, Thanks for the reply. Based on what you said, the approach I'm going to take is: 1. Get a server running with the same python version as the old server (2.4). 2. Copy over site-packages from the old to the new server. 3. Install Reviewboard 1.5.5. 4. Debug from there. I'll post back here with progress.

Assuming your Python versions are the same, try copying your site-packages directory from one server to another. That should help get you going.

Re: Process for moving older RB database to new install
Hi, You can install a specific one by doing ReviewBoard==1.5.5 The problem you're going to hit is that, back in the 1.5.5/early 1.6 days, we had dependencies listed like Django=1.2, but this will break for a new install, because the latest versions won't work with 1.5.5. Assuming your Python versions are the same, try copying your site-packages directory from one server to another. That should help get you going.
