Migrating Old DB

Added by Chase Coney over 13 years ago

Hello all,

I am trying to basically upgrade my existing Redmine installation (running .8.x) to the newest version.

I may have done this a backwards way, but it is just the best way I knew to do it on my network.

First I created a new installation of Redmine on a VM and configred it over there for a sand box to mess around with. I upgrade that to the newest version of Redmine, updated the gems, fixed some error...everything was working fine as far as the new install was going.

Then I wanted to try and use an existing Redmine SQL DB that I have that is actually in production. I made a backup of the SQL with Webmin and uploaded the file to the VM and ran the SQL script and re-ran the commands listed for upgrade (to point to the database again and migrate all of the files). When I restarted the Apache server I thought all was working. All of the news and documents were on the front page and the projects were all listed properly.

However, once I clicked on one of the projects, I get an "Internal Error". Obviously somewhere I made an error, and I am not sure where to look to even troubleshoot it.

I checked the production log and there was nothing in it, not sure where else to even look for log files.

Any help from an admin or someone that has done this before would be amazing.

Thanks in advance,
-C

Find out where the error is, without any sort of error trace/log, we obviously can't help. If it's not in the production log, have a look at the development.log or your webserver log.
