You will see of couple of messages of mine ;) With time I came close to migrate and I documented how I did it in these messages. Mostly the information is available in the Wiki as well but it is a long process to identify what we need and to fetch the information. For this reason this list is a good start but we could also get together on xwiki.org and build a page just around the issue if it makes sense. I don't have the migration done yet, so I am angry for any info you could produce ;) To make the story short you have to find this information: - install the import/export into 0.9 (see old.xwiki.org for the code) - fix the database XWD_ARCHIVE mediumblob type to longblob (xwiki.org) - increase the attachment file size limit (also xwiki.org) - increase the heap size used by your servlet container (-Xms : see for example http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc1.4.2/ for more) Weirdness and bad luck: - (A) migrating to 1.1rc2 works to 1.1.1 fails :P - (B) 1.1.1 can't open the xar package (once attached), it complains about a file not ending correctly (zip) Strategies - option 1 - install 1.1.1 fresh and import a xar (first fix the issues above) - option 2 - install 1.1.1 and connect it to the database (there bad luck happens) Possible ways to fix the problem - B could be fixed by modifying the import code (is there something hardcoded involving the size of the expected zip?) - the database migration could be fixed by running a script within mysql to migrate the schema (if only we knew what has been changed as well as the exact meaning and purpose of the attributes) What's next? ;) Marc _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
